Myogenesis and muscle metabolism in juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) made transgenic for growth hormone
Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) made transgenic for growth hormone (GH) and non-transgenic salmon were sampled at 4 and 7 months of age to estimate myogenic factors, satellite cell proliferation and metabolic enzyme activities. The growth rate of 4 month old transgenic salmon was higher than that of...

Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) made transgenic for growth hormone (GH) and non-transgenic salmon were sampled at 4 and 7 months of age to estimate myogenic factors, satellite cell proliferation and metabolic enzyme activities.

White muscle MyoD I mRNA content was higher in transgenic and non-transgenic salmon at 7 months compared with that at 4 months, indicating an effect of age on MyoD I mRNA expression.
