The plasma flows across portal vein, hepatic artery, and hepatic vein in pigs

	Treatments1			SEM	P
	I	II	III
PVPF (mL/min)	1,085	1,077	1,057	11.3	0.496
HAPF (mL/min)	281	294	317	8.3	0.805
HVPF (mL/min)	1,366	1,370	1,374	8.8	0.142

Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6). SEM = standard error of means; PVPF, HAPF, and HVPF are the plasma flow across portal vein, hepatic artery, and hepatic vein in pigs, respectively.

¹I, control group (18% CP); II, group of 15.0% CP + 0.6% calcium pyruvate; III, group of 13.5% CP + 1.8% pyruvate.

^a–cValues within a row with different superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05).
