^bData represent mean values of ten pigs with their corresponding SEM. Red and white fibres were isolated from the longissimus dorsi muscle using laser-capture microdissection

^cStatistical analyses followed the usual verification of the normality of the residuals (Shapiro–Wilk tests), and the ANOVA was performed with heterogeneous variances. A non-parametric Friedman’s test was also used as confirmatory test
