Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-genome sequence of a flatfish provides insights into ZW sex chromosome evolution and adaptation to a benthic lifestyle
Songlin Chen,Guojie Zhang,Changwei Shao,Quanfei Huang,Geng Liu,Pei Zhang,Wentao Song,Na An,Domitille Chalopin,Jean-Nicolas Volff,Yunhan Hong,Qiye Li,Zhenxia Sha,Heling Zhou,Mingshu Xie,Qiulin Yu,Yang Liu,Hui Xiang,Na Wang,Kui Wu,Yang Changgeng,Qian Zhou,Xiaolin Liao,Linfeng Yang,Qiaomu Hu,Jilin Zhang,Liang Meng,Lijun Jin,Yongsheng Tian,Jinmin Lian,Jing-Feng Yang,Guidong Miao,Shanshan Liu,Zhuo Liang,Fang Yan,Yangzhen Li,Bin Sun,Hong Zhang,Jing Zhang,Ying Zhu,Min Du,Yongwei Zhao,Manfred Schartl,Qi-Sheng Tang,Jun Wang +44 more
TL;DR: It is found that massive gene loss occurred in the wake of sex-chromosome 'birth' in Cynoglossus semilaevis, and the sex chromosomes of these fish are derived from the same ancestral vertebrate protochromosome as the avian W and Z chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fetal programming of skeletal muscle development in ruminant animals.
Min Du,Jun F. Tong,Jun Xing Zhao,Keith Underwood,Mei-Jun Zhu,Stephen P. Ford,Peter W. Nathanielsz +6 more
TL;DR: Strong experimental evidence indicates that Wingless and Int (Wnt)/beta-catenin signaling regulates MSC differentiation, and knowledge of this regulatory mechanism will allow the development of strategies to enhance muscle growth and marbling in offspring, especially in the setting of nutrient deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal nutrient restriction affects properties of skeletal muscle in offspring
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the early to mid‐gestation period is important for skeletal muscle development, as impaired muscle development during this stage of gestation affects the number and composition of fibres in offspring which may lead to long‐term physiological consequences, including predisposition to obesity and diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Maternal Nutrient Restriction in Sheep on the Development of Fetal Skeletal Muscle
TL;DR: Results show that nutrient restriction down-regulates protein synthesis in fetal muscle, and lower activation of mTOR signaling in nutrient-restricted fetuses may reduce the proliferation of myoblasts and, thus, reduce the formation of secondary myofibers in fetuses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resveratrol induces brown-like adipocyte formation in white fat through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) α1
Songbo Wang,Xingwei Liang,Qiyuan Yang,Xing Fu,Carl J. Rogers,Mei-Jun Zhu,Buel D. Rodgers,Qingyan Jiang,Michael V. Dodson,Min Du +9 more
TL;DR: Resveratrol induces brown-like adipocyte formation in iWAT via AMPKα1 activation and its beneficial antiobesity effects may be partly due to the browning of WAT and, as a consequence, increased oxygen consumption.
