Estimates are represented by 6 pigs per line x challenge.

a,b,cMeans with differing superscripts indicate a significant (P < 0.05) difference.

1Pi released, mM/min/mg protein.

2NADPH produced, μmol/min/mg protein.

3ATP produced, μM/min/μg protein.

4Basal ROS production from isolated mitochondria as H202 produced, μmol/min/mg mitochondrial protein when glutamate is provided as a substrate.
