Table 1.
Maternal features at day of sampling (Day 100 of pregnancy). Mean values (±SEM) in treated (Hydroxytyrosol; Group HTX) and control sows (Group C). TEAC accounts for Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity, HDL-c for high-density lipoproteins cholesterol and LDL-c for low-density lipoproteins cholesterol).
