Altered β-oxidation gene expression in ketotic cows is hypothesis-generating; leaves open mechanistic and therapeutic implications.
Case-Control (n=12)
Li et al. (2012) conducted a case-control in Ketosis (n=12). Ketosis vs. Nonketotic cows was evaluated on Expression of fatty acid β-oxidation-related enzymes in the liver. Ketotic cows exhibited altered liver fatty acid β-oxidation capability, with increased ACSL and decreased CPT I, CPT II, ACADL, HMGCS, and ACC expression compared to nonketotic cows.
