Description
This is the edited proceedings of the 51st Nottingham Easter School in agricultural science. It covers all aspects of the factors controlling fat and lean deposition in domestic animals. With contibutors from the US, Europe and Australia, this is an up-to-date work on the subject.
Table of Contents
- Hormonal regulation of muscle protein synthesis and degradation
- muscle cell growth
- control of lipolysis and lipogenesis
- bone growth
- foetal growth and its influence on postnatal growth and development
- the neurophysiological regulation of growth and growth hormone secretion
- molecular control of IGF gene expression
- nutritional control of the growth hormone axis
- metabolic effect of gut peptides
- control of fat lean deposition in forage fed cattle
- control of fat and lean deposition in birds and other non-mammalian species
- recent developments in the use of exogenously applied peptides and polypeptides to influence animal growth
- the use of exogenously applied non peptide hormones and their analogues to manipulate animal performance
- the control of fat and lean deposition by the immune system
- recent advances in genetic manipulation of animals with special reference to growth
- the influence of manipulation of carcass composition.
