mRNA expression patterns of genes associated with insulin signaling (INSR, IRS1), insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (SLC2A4), cytosolic NADPH generation (G6PD), malate-aspartate shuttle (MDH2), cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthesis from citrate (ACLY), and de novo fatty acid synthesis (ACACA, FASN) 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: INSR, 0.1; IRS1, 0.2; SLC2A4, 0.2; G6PD, 0.6; MDH2, 0.2; ACLY, 0.7; ACACA, 0.5; FASN, 1.2. Asterisks denote (P < 0.05): *Time effect; **Diet effect; ***Steer type effect; ****Tendency (P < 0.13) for diet × steer type × day interaction. IRS1 and FASN had (P < 0.05) a diet × steer type interaction. FASN had (P < 0.05) a diet × steer type × day interaction. Superscripts denote differences (P < 0.05) among treatments at specific time points.
