Figure 1. Effect of n–3PUFAs in the maternal diet on the development of piglet jejunal permeability.

Basal jejunal permeability to FD4 was measured in Ussing chambers from birth to 28 post-natal days in control (open bar) and n–3PUFA (black bar) piglets. Bars are mean values with s.e.m. for six piglets. *Significantly different between the two groups, P < 0.05. a,b,c significantly different between days, irrespective of the diet, P < 0.05.
