25. Studies on exercise and glycogen re-synthesis in skeletal muscles of pigs with the PRKAG3 mutation
Abstract : AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an important role in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle. Many pigs of Hampshire origin have a naturally occurring mutation situated in the PRKAG3 gene which encodes a muscle-specific isoform of the AMPK γ3-subunit. READ MORE
