1 SIRT1, sirtuin 1; PGC1α, PPARG coactivator 1 alpha; TFAM, mitochondrial transcription factor A; mtDNA, mitochondrial DNA; CON, piglets were orally administrated vehicle solution (0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) and challenged with sterile saline; DQ-CON, piglets were orally administrated vehicle solution and challenged with diquat (10 mg/kg body weight); DQ-PIC, piglets were orally administrated piceatannol (80 mg/kg/day) and challenged with diquat (10 mg/kg body weight). a, b Different letters on the shoulder mark indicate significant differences (p < 0.05). Data are presented as mean ± SE (n = 6).
