The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between cattle breeds and deposit of adipose tissues in different positions and the gene expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma ($PPAR{\gamma}$), fatty acid synthase (FASN), and Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACADM), which are associated with lipid metabolism and are valuable for understanding the physiology in fat depot and meat quality. Yanbian yellow cattle and Yan yellow cattle reared under the same conditions display different fat proportions in the carcass. To understand this difference, the expression of $PPAR{\gamma}$, FASN, and ACADM in different adipose tissues and longissimus dorsi muscle (LD) in these two breeds were analyzed using the Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction method (qRT-PCR). The result showed that $PPAR{\gamma}$ gene expression was significantly higher in adipose tissue than in LD in both breeds. $PPAR{\gamma}$ expression was also higher in abdominal fat, in perirenal fat than in the subcutaneous fat (p<0.05) in Yanbian yellow cattle, and was significantly higher in subcutaneous fat in Yan yellow cattle than that in Yanbian yellow cattle. On the other hand, FASN mRNA expression levels in subcutaneous fat and abdominal fat in Yan yellow cattle were significantly higher than that in Yanbian yellow cattle. Interestingly, ACADM gene shows greater fold changes in LD than in adipose tissues in Yan yellow cattle. Furthermore, the expressions of these three genes in lung, colon, kidney, liver and heart of Yanbian yellow cattle and Yan yellow cattle were also investigated. The results showed that the highest expression levels of $PPAR{\gamma}$ and FASN genes were detected in the lung in both breeds. The expression of ACADM gene in kidney and liver were higher than that in other organs in Yanbian yellow cattle, the comparison was not statistically significant in Yan yellow cattle.

중쇄 acyl-CoA 탈수소효소 결핍증은 미토콘드리아에 존재하는 효소 중 하나인 MCAD의 부족으로 인하여 적절한 지방산 산화가 이루어지지 못하는 대사질환으로 지방산 산화와 관련된 대사 질환 중 가장 흔한 형태이다. 다양한 임상증상으로 저혈당, 발달지연, 발작, 돌연사 등이 나타날 수 있다. 저자들은 신생아 선별검사상 C6, C8, C10:1 acylcarnitine, C8/C2 ratio 혹은 C8/C10 ratio의 증가를 보이는 무증상의 신생아에서 유전자 분석검사를 통해 MCAD 결핍증을 진단하였다. 생후 10개월 경, 고열을 동반한 전신 강직성간대경련 발생하였으나 혈액검사 상 저혈당은 관찰되지 않았고 발열 호전된 후 추가적인 경련은 없었다. 이후 생후 25개월까지 추적관찰 하였을 때 경련을 포함한 증상 없었고, 정상적인 성장과 발달을 보였다. 무증상의 신생아에서 신생아 선별검사를 통해 우연히 MCAD 결핍증으로 진단된 후 1회의 열성경련 발생하였으나 대사성 위기없이 정상적인 성장 및 발달을 보이고 있는 환아가 있어 이에 증례를 보고하는 바이다.
