Revealing the global mechanism related to carnosine synthesis in the pectoralis major of slow-growing Korat chickens using a proteomic approach

Objective This study aimed to find global mechanisms related to carnosine synthesis in slow-growing Korat chickens (KRC) using a proteomic approach. Methods M. pectoralis major samples were collected from 10-week-old female KRC including low-carnosine (LC, 2,756.6±82.88 μg/g; n = 5) and high-carnosine (HC, 4,212.5 ±82.88 μg/g; n = 5). Results We identified 152 common proteins, and 8 of these proteins showed differential expression between the LC and HC groups (p
