PRODUCTION PROCESS OF GENDER-SPECIFIC SERUM AND BIOMARKER USING THE SERUM

摘要

The present invention relates to a production process of a gender-specific serum and a biomarker using the serum. More specifically, the present invention uses a fatty acid that exhibits a specific expression pattern in a gender-specific serum as a biomarker not only for diagnosis of obesity or a disease related to obesity, but also for diagnosis of meat quality since the fatty acid promotes differentiation of muscle derived stem cells into adipose cells. In addition, the present invention can establish a research system studying the effects of steroid hormones on the cell culture by using sera separated from blood that is collected from individual mammal carcasses being disposed, and provide important clues for discovering a gene associated with the synthesis of steroid hormone and for developing treatments for human diseases. Further, the present invention may contribute to increased profits derived from producing high quality sera, a reduced cost with treatment for carcass wastes, and promotion of the eco-industry for reducing environmental hormones.
