GADD45A expression is positively associated with subcutaneous fat deposits and lipid metabolism in Shaziling and Yorkshire pigs. A Schematic diagram of subcutaneous fat in Shaziling and Yorkshire pigs. B–E Carcass traits of Body weight (B), backfat (C), lean percentage (D), and fat percentage (E) between the two breeds. a to e Different letters denote differences among Shaziling pigs (P < 0.05). A to E Different letters represents differences among Yorkshire pigs (P < 0.01) (n = 6). F, G Triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) are shown (n = 6). H Comparison of the development of subcutaneous adipocytes in Shaziling and Yorkshire pigs by Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. I, J The cell area was quantified using Image J software (n = 6). K Relative mRNA expression of PPARγ, ADIPOQ, and GADD45A (n = 6). L Correlation analyses of GADD45A and fat percentage (60 days and 90 days) in the two breeds (n = 6). Error bars represent SEM, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, two-tailed Student’s t-test. Scale bars: 100 μm
