Muscle type-specific responses of myoD and calpain 3 expression to recombinant porcine growth hormone in the pig

Sixteen castrated male Large White × Landrace pigs were employed to investigate the muscle type-specific changes of gene expression in response to recombinant porcine growth hormone (rpGH) administration. Pigs were injected intramuscularly with rpGH (4 mg/day, n = 8) or saline (n = 8) for 28 days. S...
