Expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family, member A1 (Aldh1a1), receptors for retinoic acid, and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (Pparγ) in fat depots of fattening cattle. Japanese Black steers were fed control diet or vitamin A-restricted diet for 20 mo. Expression of Aldh1a1, receptors for retinoic acid, and Pparγ in subcutaneous (sc) white adipose tissue (WAT) and mesenteric WAT (mesWAT) were examined by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analyses. Mean ± SE (n = 6). **P < 0.05 vs. control group in the same WAT. †P < 0.05 and ††P < 0.10 vs. scWAT in the dietary group.
