Relative gene expression of MCT1, SMCT1, and occludin in the cecal mucosa. (a) Monocarboxylate transporter 1 (mct1). (b) Sodium monocarboxylate transporter 1 (smct1). (c) Occludin. Symbology: closed squares, suckling piglets; open circles, piglets weaned at 28 days of age; open triangles, piglets weaned at 21 days of age. Error bars represent the standard errors. Symbols with different letters (a and b) indicate significant differences at p < 0.05.
