1 EPI, epinephrine; GH, growth hormone; INS, insulin; HSL, hormone-sensitive lipase; ME, malic enzyme; ACC, acetyl CoA carboxylase; LPL, lipoprotein lipase; FAS, fatty acid synthase. 2 CON, no fermented cottonseed meal in diet; FCSM, 6% fermented cottonseed meal in diet. 3 SEM, standard error of the mean. a–b Means within a row with different superscripts differ significantly (p < 0.05).
