mRNA expression patterns of genes associated with ligand-dependent transcriptional control of adipocyte differentiation and ligand-dependent activation of lipogenesis ( PPARG ), and transcriptional regulation of lipogenesis ( THRSP , SREBF1 , INSIG1 ) in Angus or A × S steers (n = 6/type) fed a high-starch (HiS, n = 3/type) or low-starch (LoS, n = 3/type) diet. Fold-change expression during the growing phase is expressed relative to day 0. Pooled SEM: PPARG, 0.5; THRSP, 8.8; INSIG1, 0.9; SREBF1, 0.2. Asterisks denote (P < 0.05): *Time effect; **Diet effect; ***Steer type effect; ****Tendency (P = 0.13) for diet effect. SREBF1 and THRSP had significant (P < 0.05) diet × steer type and diet × steer type × day interactions. Superscripts denote differences (P < 0.05) among treatments at specific time points. #P = 0.10, LoS-A × S vs. LoS-Angus, HiS-Angus, HiS-A × S.
