1 Abbreviations: CONT, control diet, ROI, region of interest; SEM, standard error of the mean; TEST, test diet. 2 p-values derived from a two-sample t-test comparing pigs provided different early-life dietary interventions. 3 Parameter estimations for each outcome were computed for maximum absolute (i.e., plateau) value (a), onset of initial developmental increase (b), and overall rate of development (g).
