Compared with those of the NBW piglets, the livers of IUGR weaned piglets exhibited significantly higher (p < 0.05) levels of TC, TG, NEFA, lactate and activities of pyruvate kinase, as well as significantly lower (p < 0.05) activities of LDH, LPL, HL, and TL and lower concentrations of glycogen (Table 7). This evidence concerns the gene LPL and fetal growth restriction.
