Effects of dietary butyrate supplementation on expression of specific miRNAs and their corresponding target genes in LT muscle of finishing pigs. U6 was utilized as an internal reference gene of miR-208b (A1), miR-133a-3p (A2), miR-499-5p (A3), and miR-23a (A4). β-actin was utilized as a control of Sp3 (B1), Thrap1 (C1), TEAD1 (B2), Sox6 (B3), and MEF2C (B4). Control, basal diet; Butyrate, basal diet with 0.3% sodium butyrate. Data are the means ± SEM, n = 8. *P < 0.05.
