1 R1, R2, R3, and R4 were diets in which the ratios of insoluble to soluble fiber were 3.89, 5.59, 9.12, and 12.81, respectively. 2 T-AOC, total antioxidant capacity; CAT, catalase; T-SOD, total peroxide dismutase; MDA, malondialdehyde; GSH-Px, glutathione peroxidase. Values are mean ± standard error (n = 8 for sows, n = 6 for piglets). a–c Means with different superscripts within a row differ (p < 0.05).
