Abstract Glucose is the major precursor of lactose synthesis in the mammary gland. Lactose the major carbohydrate and osmolyte of milk, controls milk volume and its concentration. Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbG) is a retrospective measure of mean blood glucose level and it is largely unaffected by recent physiological conditions and environmental events. The purposes of this study were to determine the correlati...
The scope of this study was to identify sequence polymorphisms in the β-1,4- galactosyltransferase-I gene (B4GALT1), the gene which encodes the catalytic part of lactose synthase enzyme. Exons of the gene were scanned for the presence of allelic variation among a sample of 400 Iranian Holsteins, using the single strand conformation polymorphism technique followed by sequencing. Nine polymorphic nucleotide sites...
