The effects of oral infusion of sodium butyrate at 0.36 g/kg body weight once daily for 39 d on rumen epithelial IGF-1 and IGF-binding protein-related genes messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in preweaning lambs. Rumen tissues were collected 2 to 3 h after the final SB infusion at the ages of 49 d in lambs. Quantitative RT-PCR results were expressed as relative mRNA expression (fold of Con group, normalized to GAPDH) and the data were analyzed by the 2−ΔΔCT method. The values are means ± SEM, n = 7. IGF-1 = insulin-like growth factor-1; IGF-1R = insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor; IFGBP-2 = insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2; IFGBP-3 = insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3; IFGBP-5 = insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5; IFGBP-6 = insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 6.
