Effect of β-glucan on jejunum mucosal antioxidant capacity of weaned pigs1.
Item | Control | Olaquindox | β-glucan | SEM | P-value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
MDA, nmol/mg protein | 1.18 | 1.08 | 0.90 | 0.07 | 0.221 |
TSOD, U/mg protein | 7.91 | 8.43 | 8.04 | 0.17 | 0.495 |
GSH, μmol/g protein | 7.63 | 8.74 | 8.02 | 0.29 | 0.331 |
TAOC, U/mg protein | 1.01 | 1.41 | 1.31 | 0.11 | 0.339 |
MDA = malondialdehyde; GSH = glutathione; TAOC = total antioxidant capacity; TSOD = total superoxide dismutase.
Six replicate pens of 2 pigs/pen for antioxidant capacity data.
