The mRNA expression of genes related to lipid metabolism in the longissimus dorsi muscle (a−c) and psoas major muscle (d−f) of offspring piglets at 65, 95, and 125 days old. Different lowercase letters indicate a significant difference (P < 0.05). C, control group; SOA, antibiotic supplementation in sow-offspring diets; SOP, probiotic supplementation in sow-offspring diets; SOS, synbiotic supplementation in sow-offspring diets; ACC, acetyl-CoA carboxylase; ATGL, adipose triglyceride lipase; CPT-1, carnitine palmityl transferase-1; FABP4, fatty acid binding protein 4; FASN, fatty acid synthase; HSL, hormone sensitive lipase; LPL, lipoprotein lipase; PPARα, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α; PPARγ, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ; SCD, stearyl coenzyme A desaturase; SREBP-1, sterol-regulatory element binding protein-1. The replicates per group at 65 days old were 8. The replicates of the C, SOA, SOP, and SOS groups at 95 days old were 8, 8, 8, and 7, respectively. The replicates of the C, SOA, SOP, and SOS groups at 125 days old were 8, 5, 6, and 6, respectively.
