Abstract
In agriculture production, meat yield and quality depend largely on growth of muscle and deposition of fat. Skeletal muscle growth is governed by myogenesis, while adipogenesis contributes to the development of intramuscular fat, that significantly affects the overall quality of meat. Moreover, the processes of lipogenesis and lipolysis regulate the deposition and mobilization of fat of intramuscular fat. Recent evidence also suggests that muscle cells may transdifferentiate into adipocytes, further influencing fat content in the muscle. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms underlying myogenesis, adipogenesis, lipogenesis, lipolysis, and transdifferentiation of muscle to fat, with emphasis on their roles in regulating in meat production and quality.
