Figure 5. Effect of dietary supplementation with glutamate on elative mRNA abudances in ileum (A) and jejunum (A) of growing pigs fed mould-contaminated feed.

The treatments consisted of a control group (n = 5) receiving uncontaminated feed, a mycotoxin group (n = 5) receiving mould-contaminated diet, and the glutamate group (n = 5) receiving mould-contaminated diet and 2% glutamate. SLC7A1: solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+system), member 1; SLC7A7: solute carrier family 7 (amino acid transporter light chain, y+L system), member 7; SLC1A1: solute carrier family 1 (neuronal/epithelial high affinity glutamate transporter, system Xag), member 1; SLC5A1: solute carrier family 5 (sodium/glucose cotransporter), member 1. The data with different letters in the same row differ significantly (P<0.05), and same letters means no significant difference (p>0.05).
