Effect of castration and days on feed on body composition, glucose tolerance, and muscle gene expression in Nellore cattle

Effect of castration and days on feed on body composition, glucose tolerance, and muscle gene expression in Nellore cattle

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of castration and days of feed (DOF) on glucose sensitivity and muscle expression of genes related to glucose metabolism, muscle growth, and fat deposition. Thirty-six Nellore bull calves were either surgically castrated or left intact,...
