    Expression Profile of Non-Human Glycan, N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) in Organs and Muscle Meat of Nine Animal Species
    Author(s): Bing Wang*

    The red meat-derived non-human sialic acid (Sia), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), has been reported to promote inflammation and cancer progression in humans. However, the expression level of Neu5Gc in muscle and organ tissues across different animal species remains unknown. We measured red meat-derived Neu5Gc in different regions of skeletal muscle and 7 organs of 9 animal species consumed across the world. We found that Neu5Gc was not expressed in muscles of kangaroos or dogs, and 7 organs of female deer. Expression levels of Neu5Gc is tissue and species-specific. Similar levels of glycans including Neu5Gc were expressed across 9 primal commercial cuts of sheep meat. The musculature across species.. View More»
