Adipogenic and energy metabolism gene networks in <it>longissimus lumborum </it>during rapid post-weaning growth in Angus and Angus × Simmental cattle fed high-starch or low-starch diets

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Transcriptional networks coordinate adipocyte differentiation and energy metabolism in rodents. The level of fiber and starch in diets with adequate energy content fed to young cattle has the potential to alter intramuscular adipose...
