The study was conducted to investigate the effects of betaine on lipid metabolism offinishing pigs by determining related enzymes activities and gene expression of keyemzymes (fatty acid synthase, carnitine palmitoyltransferaseⅠ), growth hormone (GH)pulsatile secretion and other related hormone, as well as physiological and biochemicalparameters. The object of this study was to approach to the mechanism that betaine maypossibly improve on carcass traits of pigs.
