SCD1 in goats MT and numerical lower daily yield of fat,
short (SCFA) and medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) in their
milk which proves that the decrease in nutrients supply may
lead to lower rate of lipid synthesis. The fact that the feeding
level did not change the mRNA expression of PPARG2 in the
MT of goats is in contrast to what has already been observed
in cows in other tissue samples, which may indicate animal
species differences. There is a close relationship between
PPARG2 and SREBP-1c genes as proven by the same trend in
their expression in the MT of goats. In addition, the FAS was
the most abundant transcript in goats MT which shows its
pivotal role in milk fat synthesis. The SCD1 seems to be the
most affected gene by the lactation stage, at least for the
studied interval, which indicates its significant role in maintenance
of milk. In addition, a positive relationship exists in
