The effect of anabolic implant and dietary lipid source on intramusuclar lipid deposition in finished beef cattle

Neither anabolic implant nor lipid supplementation altered adipose cellularity. The mRNA abundance of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, stearoyl-CoA desaturase, and lipoprotein lipase in beef intramuscular adipose tissue was not altered by anabolic implant or dietary lipid source. According to this research, these treatments did not have a direct effect on enzyme expression and lipogenesis.
