TL;DR: It was concluded that sunflower seed oil reduced rumen fauna and the C16:0 proportion of fat, while increasing C18:2 and CLA content in the muscle and fat tissues.

TL;DR: In this article, the relative increase in the CLA content of lamb tissues by dietary CLA supplementation (0.33 g/d for 21 days prior to weaning) to milk-replacer of preruminant lambs or by feeding linoleic acid rich oil (Safflower oil, 6% DM-SAFF) to weaned ruminating lambs with that of lambs receiving unsupplemented milkreplacer and pelleted feed.

TL;DR: The identification of the anticarcinogenic effects of beef extracts due to the presence of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has heightened interest in increasing the amount of CLA deposited in beef, with the CLAs appear to be concentrated in intramuscular and subcutaneous fat of beef cattle.

TL;DR: Indices of fatty acid elongase activity, calculated from FAME data, implicated the balance between this enzyme activity and fatty acid synthase as a source of variation between animals displaying various degrees of marbled and worthy of further investigation to better understand the process of marbling fat deposition in beef cattle.

TL;DR: The principles that regulate adipogenesis in major meat animals, the definition of adipose depot-specific regulation of lipid metabolism or adipogenesis, and the potential value of these animals as models for metabolic research including mammary biology and the ontogeny of fatty livers are discussed.
