Adipocyte differentiation and cellularity.

<p>Abbreviation used: LD, <i>longissimus dorsi</i> muscle; PRAT, perirenal fat; SCAT dorsal subcutaneous adipose tissue.</p><p>^aPigs (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>^bmRNA levels (arbitrary units) of target genes were measured by qPCR.</p><p>^cAdipocyte mean area (μm²) was assessed on histological cross-section of adipose tissue. Total number of adipocyte was estimated per gram of adipose tissue.</p><p>Adipocyte differentiation and cellularity.
