El presente trabajo es un intento de caracterizar la carne de llama disponible en los mercados bolivianos más populares (departamento de Oruro) en términos de su perfil de ácidos grasos, con el fin de proporcionar información sobre su calidad nutricional y saludable y aumentar el interés de los consumidores bolivianos. en esta carne La carne de llama se obtuvo de tres mercados diferentes. M. Longissimus lumborum, así como el tejido adiposo subcutáneo e intermuscular, se sometieron a análisis del perfil de ácidos grasos y, además, la carne se comparó con la carne de otras especies. El tejido adiposo de la llama mostró una saturación significativa comparable a la observada en los depósitos de grasa de los animales rumiantes, sin embargo, se detectaron proporciones considerables de los beneficiosos C18: 1n-9 y C18: 1n-7 y también se observaron en el tejido muscular. M. Longissmus lumborum presentó un porcentaje considerable de ácidos grasos poliinsaturados esenciales (AGPI) (C18: 2n-6 y C18: 3n-3), ácido linoleico conjugado (CLA), así como ácidos grasos poliinsaturados n-3 de cadena larga (C20:5n-3 y C22:5n-3). Las ventajas de la carne de llama con respecto a su perfil de ácidos grasos se compararon con la carne de res, cordero y cerdo. Los datos indican que la carne de llama no debe considerarse inferior a las carnes mencionadas anteriormente. Presentaba una relación favorable de AGPI n-6/n-3, así como P / S, y bajo potencial aterogénico

O objetivo neste trabalho foi avaliar a composição de ácidos graxos e a qualidade do contrafilé (músculo Longissimus lumborum) de tourinhos das raças Nelore e Canchim. Os animais foram terminados em confinamento e alimentados com dietas contendo cana-de-açúcar e dois níveis de concentrado (40 e 60% na matéria seca). Os concentrados foram compostos de grãos de girassol, milho, farelo de soja, levedura seca de cana-de-açúcar, uréia e núcleo mineral. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 2 × 2 (grupo genético × nível de concentrado). Não foram observadas diferenças nos teores de umidade, proteína e extrato etéreo da carne. Os animais da raça Nelore apresentaram maiores concentrações de ácido linoléico conjugado (0,52%), ácidos graxos insaturados (46,82%) e também relações mais elevadas de ácidos graxos insaturados:saturados (1,02) e monoinsaturados:saturados (0,86) em comparação aos tourinhos da raça Canchim. Os tourinhos da raça Canchim apresentaram maior intensidade das cores vermelha e amarela no contrafilé e maior luminosidade da gordura de cobertura. Houve interação para força de cisalhamento, que foi menor nos tourinhos Nelore alimentados com 40% de concentrado. Tourinhos da raça Nelore apresentam carne com melhor composição de ácidos graxos na gordura intramuscular do ponto de vista da saúde humana.

Um fator diferencial na produção de bovinos é a compreensão da contribuição individual dos ácidos graxos e do papel dos lipídeos nos ruminantes, tanto na forma de análise (ácido graxo ou extrato etéreo), conceitos relacionados às características de ômega 3, ômega 6 e ácido linoleico conjugado na bio-hidrogenação, no metabolismo pós-absorção, bem como no conteúdo e composição dos ácidos graxos em relação à matéria seca dos alimentos. Sabe-se que diversos fatores podem afetar o teor, digestibilidade e degradabilidade das fibras presente na forragem, e o mesmo ocorre com os lipídeos. As diferenças entre os valores dos compostos presentes nos lipídeos podem ocorrer dependendo do ambiente, região do país ou fase de colheita e por isso, torna-se importante obter a análise da composição de ácidos graxos dos alimentos lipídicos, para que dessa maneira seja possível otimizar a utilização deste nutriente na dieta de animais ruminantes. Sendo assim, a proposta dessa revisão será trazer a discussão sobre o tema e abordar um entendimento sobre o conteúdo e composição de ácidos graxos dos ingredientes que compõem a dieta dos animais ruminantes, com ênfase na influência exercida no desempenho produtivo, imunonutrição, e no produto final (carne ou leite).

El linfoma cutáneo primario de células B (LCPCB) centrofolicular corresponde a una proliferación neoplásica infrecuente e indolente de células del centro germinal confinadas a la piel. Se reporta y revisa un caso de LCPCB centrofolicular.Paciente femenino de 76 años, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial y resistencia a la insulina. Consultó por aumento de volumen frontal de dos años de evolución. Al examen físico destacaba un nódulo único en región frontal derecha. La ecografía de partes blandas fue compatible con quiste epidérmico. La histopatología demostró en dermis profunda, tejido adiposo subcutáneo y tejido muscular estriado una proliferación linfoide sólida dispuesta en patrón nodular y difuso. A la inmunohistoquímica (IHQ), los linfocitos fueron CD20 y BCL-6 positivo, con un Ki-67 de 60% y BCL-2, CD3, CD5 y CD10 negativo. El estudio de diseminación tumoral resultó negativo. El LCPCB centrofolicular concentra el 60% de todos los LCPCB. Se presenta en promedio a los 51 años. Se ha descrito asociación con Borrelia burgdorferi, VIH, virus hepatitis C y virus Epstein-Barr. Clínicamente corresponde a un nódulo eritematoso y asintomático, localizado preferentemente en cabeza, cuello y tronco. La IHQ es fundamental para diferenciarlo de otros tipos de LCPCB. Habitualmente, el tratamiento es con radioterapia o cirugía escisional. La supervivencia es de un 95% a 5 años. Se presenta este caso dado que el LCPCB centrofolicular corresponde a un tumor cutáneo infrecuente, con múltiples diagnósticos diferenciales, que requiere de un alto índice de sospecha para lograr un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno.

Gene expression is one of the main factors to influence meat quality by modulating fatty acid metabolism, composition, and deposition rates in muscle tissue. This study aimed to explore the transcriptomics of the Longissimus lumborum muscle in two local pig breeds with distinct genetic background using next-generation sequencing technology and Real-Time qPCR. RNA-seq yielded 49 differentially expressed genes between breeds, 34 overexpressed in the Alentejano (AL) and 15 in the Bísaro (BI) breed. Specific slow type myosin heavy chain components were associated with AL (MYH7) and BI (MYH3) pigs, while an overexpression of MAP3K14 in AL may be associated with their lower loin proportion, induced insulin resistance, and increased inflammatory response via NFkB activation. Overexpression of RUFY1 in AL pigs may explain the higher intramuscular (IMF) content via higher GLUT4 recruitment and consequently higher glucose uptake that can be stored as fat. Several candidate genes for lipid metabolism, excluded in the RNA-seq analysis due to low counts, such as ACLY, ADIPOQ, ELOVL6, LEP and ME1 were identified by qPCR as main gene factors defining the processes that influence meat composition and quality. These results agree with the fatter profile of the AL pig breed and adiponectin resistance can be postulated as responsible for the overexpression of MAP3K14′s coding product NIK, failing to restore insulin sensitivity.

Fat deposition is important to carcass value and some palatability characteristics. Carcasses with higher USDA quality grades produce more value for producers and processors in the US system and are more likely to have greater eating satisfaction. Using genomics to identify genes impacting marbling deposition provides insight into muscle biochemistry that may lead to ways to better predict fat deposition, especially marbling and thus quality grade. Hereford steers (16) were managed the same from birth through harvest after 270 days on feed. Samples were obtained for tenderness and transcriptome profiling. As expected, steaks from Choice carcasses had a lower shear force value than steaks from Select carcasses; however, steaks from Standard carcasses were not different from steaks from Choice carcasses. A significant number of differentially expressed (DE) genes was observed in the longissimus lumborum between Choice and Standard carcass RNA pools (1257 genes, p < 0.05), but not many DE genes were observed between Choice and Select RNA pools. Exploratory analysis of global muscle tissue transcriptome from Standard and Choice carcasses provided insight into muscle biochemistry, specifically the upregulation of extracellular matrix development and focal adhesion pathways and the downregulation of RNA processing and metabolism in Choice versus Standard. Additional research is needed to explore the function and timing of gene expression changes.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary brown seaweed (Macrocystis pyrifera) additive (SWA) on meat quality and nutrient composition of commercial fattening pigs. The treatments were: Regular diet with 0% inclusion of SWA (CON); Regular diet with 2% SWA (2%-SWA); Regular diet with 4% SWA (4%-SWA). After slaughtering, five carcasses from each group were selected, and longissimus lumborum (LL) samples were taken for meat quality and chemical composition analysis. Meat quality traits (except redness intensity) were not affected (p > 0.05) by treatments. Samples from the 4%-SWA treatment showed the lowest a value than those from the 2%-SWA and CON treatments (p = 0.05). Meat samples from the 4%-SWA group contained 3.37 and 3.81 mg/100 g more of muscle cholesterol than CON and 2% SWA groups, respectively (p < 0.05). The SWA treatments affected (p ≤ 0.05) the content of ash, Mn, Fe, and Cu. The LL samples from 4%-SWA had the highest content of ash; however, they showed 0.13, 0.45, and 0.23 less mg/100 g of Mn, Fe, and Zn, respectively, compared to samples from CON (p ≤ 0.05). Fatty acids composition and macro minerals content (Na, Mg, and K) did not show variation due to the SWA treatments. Further studies are needed to understand the biological effects of these components on adipogenesis, cholesterol metabolism, and mineral deposition in muscle.

Lamb (n = 79) meat colour was scored by 879 untrained consumers using a scale of 0 (brown) to 100 (red). This consumer colour score (CCS) was obtained on m. longissimus lumborum (loin) and m. semimembranosus (topside), stored for short (5–7 days), medium (33–35 days), and long periods (110–112 days) and a retail display time of up to 4 days. Consumers perceived topside to be less red initially and changed from red to brown more rapidly when stored for the long-storage period (p < 0.01). Whereas, the initial CCS of loin samples were similar across the storage periods (p > 0.05). CCS and the instrument measure oxy/met (reflectance of light at wavelengths 630 nm and 580 nm) had a low correlation coefficient of 0.33 (p < 0.01). The propensity for lamb growth and leanness indicated by sire breeding values for lamb weight, eye muscle depth, eye muscle fat depth, and loin intramuscular fat had varied and inconsistent effects on CCS. Therefore, even the selection on CCS.

Abstract The objective of this study was to identify the relative contribution of tenderness factors for 3 beef muscles with similar tenderness ratings. Longissimus lumborum (loin), tensor fascia latae (tri-tip) and gastrocnemius (heel) were collected from 10 USDA choice beef carcasses, fabricated into steaks and assigned to a 5 or 21 d aging period (n=60). Heel had the greatest relative troponin-T degradation %, followed by tri-tip and loin (68.10, 53.42 and 35.01 % respectively; P&lt; 0.01). Tri-tip had the longest sarcomere, followed by heel and loin (3.01, 2.59 and 1.71 µm, respectively; P &lt; 0.01), and heel increased in sarcomere length from 5 to 21 d of postmortem storage (2.49 vs 2.70 µm; P&lt; 0.05). As expected, heel had the greatest collagen content, followed by tri-tip and loin (6.06, 3.98 and 2.76 mg/g of muscle tissue, respectively; P&lt; 0.01), and collagen content decreased for all cuts from 5 to 21 d of postmortem storage (4.64 vs 3.90 mg/g muscle tissue; P&lt; 0.05). Out of the 3 cuts, heel had the highest collagen crosslink density (0.20 mol/mol collagen; P&lt; 0.05), while loin and tri-tip did not differ (0.13 and 0.15 mol/mol collagen, respectively; P &gt;0.05). Collagen crosslink density increased for all cuts from 5 to 21 d of postmortem storage (0.14 vs 0.20; P&lt; 0.01). Heel had lower lipid content than the others (2.68 %; P&lt; 0.01), while tri-tip and loin did not differ in lipid content (8.24 vs. 6.99 %; P &gt;0.05). Loin was ranked by the trained panel to have the highest overall tenderness, while tri-tip and heel did not differ in overall tenderness (P &gt;0.05). The overall tenderness value for heel was positively correlated with troponin-T degradation (P&lt; 0.01). On the other hand, overall tenderness value for loin was negatively correlated with lipid content (P&lt; 0.05), and overall tenderness value for tri-tip was negatively correlated with collagen content (P&lt; 0.05). These results indicated that each beef cut had a unique profile of tenderness contributors.

There is a growing demand by the modern consumer for meat containing less fat and lower levels of saturated fatty acids, which are considered to increase the risk of coronary heart disease. In southern Italy, the Gentile di Puglia breed is one of the most common on farms, and the light lambs are often consumed. The study evaluates the effect of a diet containing extruded linseed (Linum usitatissimum) on growth performances, carcass traits, and meat quality in Gentile di Puglia light lambs. Thirty-six male lambs are weaned at about 20 days of age, and divided into three groups—each group is either fed a control diet (C), a diet containing 3% extruded linseed (L), or a diet containing 3% extruded linseed and 0.6% oregano (Origanum vulgare) (L + O). The lambs’ growth performances and the slaughtering and dissection data did not differ between groups. Dietary treatments have no significant effect on the quality and chemical composition of Longissimus lumborum (Ll). The mount of linoleic acid in Ll meat is significantly higher in the L group, and this positively affected the total content of n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid, as well as the n-6/n-3 ratio. The good results obtained concerning the sensory traits meet the requirements of the market’s consumer.
