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.
