However, RFI criterion is correlated with body composition and muscle characteristics. Present study evaluated adaptive responses to divergent selection on RFI on muscle metabolism and homeostasis through AMP-activated protein kinase pathway. Consequences on technological and sensory meat quality were also analyzed in two lines of Large White pigs after six generations of divergent selection on RFI. RFI− pigs (n = 60) exhibited similar growth rate but lower feed intake and conversion ratio, and were leaner than RFI+ pigs (n = 57). Despite higher glycogen content, metabolic enzyme capacities involved in glycolytic, fatty acid oxidation pathway and energy balance were reduced in the Longissimus muscle of the RFI− pigs. Reduced muscle homeostasis in the RFI− line influenced post-mortem metabolism and impaired technological quality traits of loin and ham but had only slight effects on meat eating quality.
