Abstract: MC4R, MC3R, Leptin and CCKAR are all associated with feed intake. To analysis the potential relationship of these four genes, MC4R gene was silenced in fibroblasts by RNAi method, then Real-time PCR method was used to detect the expression changes of Leptin, MC3R and CCKAR. The results showed that, after MC4R was silenced, Leptin, MC3R and MC4R expression level were not changed.

Key words: pig; feed intake; MC4R; RNAi; Real-time PCR
