The development of pork quality attributes - including color, water holding capacity, and texture are controlled largely by the rate and extent of postmortem pH decline. In turn, pH decline is thought to follow the anaerobic degradation of glycogen to lactic acid. The Hampshire effect or Rendement Napole (RN-) pig, which has elevated muscle glycogen, propagated the widespread use of glycolytic potential to describe muscle's capacity for postmortem glycolysis. Since the evolution of glycolytic potential, there have been great strides in molecular and technical capabilities. Hence, it must be appreciated that the RN- pig possesses a mutation in the gene encoding the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) gamma 3 subunit, which results in a non-conservative amino acid substitution (R200Q). AMPK, a major energy sensor in skeletal muscle, influences enzyme activity, gene and protein expression, fiber type, and mitochondria! biogenesis. The utility of glycolytic potential as indicator of ultimate pH should be reevaluated in the context of the metabolic differences between AMPK gamma 3 mutated and normal muscle. Understanding the metabolism and energetics in AMPK gamma 3 mutated muscle may provide insight into the mechanisms influencing the rate and extent of postmortem metabolism. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
