Fluorescence intensity (means ± SE, n = 7) for genes involved in TCA cycle, de novo FA synthesis, and FA modification from 6 h to 42 days of lactation. P values for repeated measures after H-B FDR multiple testing corrections revealed an overall increase (P < 0.01) in mRNA of malate dehydrogenase 2 (MDH2) aconitase-1 soluble (ACO1), malate dehydrogenase1 (MDH1), isocitrate dehydrogenase1 (IDH1), fumarate hydratase (FH), solute carrier family 25 (mitochondrial carrier; citrate transporter 1, SLC25A1), ATP citrate lyase (ACLY), acetyl-CoA carboxylase-α and -β (ACACA & B), FA synthase (FASN), S-acyl FASN thioesterase medium chain (OLAH), acyl-CoA thioesterase-11 (ACOT11), elongation of long-chain FAs (ELOVL) member 5 (ELOVL5) and 6 (ELOVL6), and very-long-chain FA-like 1 (ELOVL1), FA desaturase 2 (FADS2), and stearoyl-CoA desaturase-5 (SCD5). However, mRNA of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (Δ9-desaturase, SCD) decreased (P < 0.01) overtime.
