Lipid content and lipogenic enzyme activities.

<p>Abbreviation used: G6PDH, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; LD, <i>longissimus dorsi</i> muscle; PRAT, perirenal fat; SCAT dorsal subcutaneous adipose tissue.</p><p>^a Pigs (42 d of age) were fed either a methionine-deficient (MD) diet or a control (CTRL) diet providing an adequate level of methionine for 10 days. Values are least square means together with residual standard deviation (RSD).</p><p>^b Lipid content was expressed in g per 100 g of tissue fresh weight. Activities were expressed in nmoles of NADPH produced (malic enzyme, G6PDH) or consumed (fatty acid synthase) per min and per mg cytosolic proteins.</p><p>Lipid content and lipogenic enzyme activities.
