Table 2 Relative transcript levels of classical PPARα target genes involved in fatty acid uptake, fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis in the liver of lactating and non-lactating sows on day 20 of lactation

From: Genes involved in carnitine synthesis and carnitine uptake are up-regulated in the liver of sows during lactation

 

Non-lactating (n = 10)

Lactating (n = 10)

Fatty acid uptake

  

   FABP4

1 ± 0.36
