The Control of Fat and Lean Deposition (EASTER SCHOOL IN AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE//PROCEEDINGS)

Papers from the third Easter School in recent years (date and place not stated) to consider the control of growth of animals, discuss factors controlling protein metabolism in muscle at the cellular level and similar considerations of adipose tissue. Fetal growth and its influence on subsequent postnatal growth is discussed in connection with the role of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factors on fat and lean deposition. Methods of influencing fat and lean deposition are presented, and the consequences of those methods on meat quality are considered. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
