Enhancing skeletal muscle growth is crucial for animal agriculture because skeletal muscle
provides meat for human consumption. An increasing body of evidence shows that the level …

Skeletal muscle mass, quality and adaptability are fundamental in promoting muscle
performance, maintaining metabolic function and supporting longevity and healthspan …

Maternal nutrient restriction (NR) affects fetal development with long‐term consequences on
postnatal health of offspring, including predisposition to obesity and diabetes. Most studies …

Beef cattle are raised for their lean tissue, and excessive fat accumulation accounts for large
amounts of waste. On the other hand, intramuscular fat or marbling is essential for the …

All important developmental milestones are accomplished during the fetal stage, and
nutrient fluctuation during this stage produces lasting effects on offspring health, so called …

The study objectives were to test the hypothesis that heat stress (HS) during gestational
development alters postnatal growth, body composition, and biological response to HS …

Fetal adaptations to placental insufficiency alter postnatal metabolic homeostasis in skeletal
muscle by reducing glucose oxidation rates, impairing insulin action, and lowering the …

Poor maternal nutrition during gestation can have immediate and life-long negative effects
on offspring growth and health. In livestock, this leads to reduced product quality and …

Nutrition is a mature science with well established principles for energy, protein and mineral
metabolism based on known metabolic pathways. The quantitative requirements are …

The objetive of the current study was to determine the effect of maternal energy status during
