Abstract:

Muscle and adipose are important for the production and quality of the carcass in pig. The close relationship between the two tissues affects not only their metabolism, but also the energy metabolism and homeostasis of the whole animal body. But at present, little is known about the interactions between muscle and adipose tissues, especially in livestock. This review will discuss about the interaction between muscle and adipose tissues from movement, cytokines, metabolites, especially the new cell messenger, such as exosome and miRNA, in order to present a basis for the formation of pig meat quality traits and the regulation of energy homeostasis in a new perspective.
