This study evaluates the effects of betaine supplementation (1 g kg− 1 for 20 weeks) on the
regulation of genes involved in lipid and cholesterol metabolism of Longissimus lumborum …

Background Betaine affects fat metabolism in animals, but the specific mechanism is still not
clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate possible mechanisms of betaine in …

This study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary betaine supplementation on
growth performance, meat quality and muscle lipid metabolism of growing-finishing pigs …

BACKGROUND: The use of betaine as a dietary supplement to reduce fat deposition and
increase lean muscle mass in pigs is increasing. However, there is no available information …

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of long term betaine intake on the
cholesterol and lipid profile of Alentejano (AL) pigs. At˜ 36 kg body weight (BW), castrated …

Dietary betaine may reduce carcass fat in growing pigs. We explored the effects of betaine
on short-term growth and in vivo and in vitro fatty acid oxidation. Pigs were housed in …

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary betaine supplementation on
growth performance, carcass characteristics, lipogenic enzyme activities in subcutaneous …

protein diets (RPD) on fat content, fatty acid composition and mRNA levels of genes …

A total of 48 weaned Manchego breed lambs (same number of males and females) with an
initial live weight of 11.5 kg were randomly distributed into four pens to study the effect of …

Two hundred and forty 1‐day‐old male Arbor Acres broiler chickens were randomly
assigned to five dietary treatments with six replicates of eight chickens per replicate cage for …
