Values are means ± SEM, (n = 8), nonchallenged pigs (CON, fed with basal diet), diquat-challenged pigs (DT, fed with basal diet), and SeY-treated pigs (fed with basal diet containing 250 mg/kg SeY) challenged by sterile saline (SSY) or diquat (DSY). a,b,cMean values within a row with unlike superscript letters were significantly different (P < 0.05).
