Table 3 Relative transcript levels of genes involved in carnitine synthesis and carnitine uptake 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)

Carnitine uptake

  

   SLC22A5

1 ± 0.24

1.54 ± 0.51*

Carnitine synthesis

  

   ALDH9A1

1 ± 0.55

2.72 ± 1.04*

   TMLHE

1 ± 0.41

1.54 ± 0.34*

   BBOX1

1 ± 0.43
