A polymorphism in the stearoyl-CoA desaturase gene promoter influences monounsaturated fatty acid content of Duroc × Iberian hams

A polymorphism in the stearoyl-CoA desaturase gene promoter influences monounsaturated fatty acid content of Duroc × Iberian hams

<p>Data on 74 dry-cured hams from Duroc × Iberian pigs were used to examine whether the tag polymorphism <em>AY487830:g.2228T&gt;C </em>in the promoter region of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase [<em>SCD</em>] gene affect fat desaturation and monounsaturated fatty acid (...
