The ileal levels of peptide transporters and amino acids of fetuses in CON, RES, RES + ARG and RES + NCG groups on d 110 of gestation. SLC1A1, SLC7A1, SLC1A5, SLC15A1 and SLC7A7 were responsible for encoding EAAT3, CAT1, ASCT2, PEPT1 and y+LAT2, separately. (A) Typical charts showing the Western blotting analysis. (B) Densitometric data were presented in the manner of relative levels and normalized based on β-actin. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 16 per group). CON, animals raised with 100% of nutrient requirements recommended by NRC (2007); RES, 50% of nutrient requirements recommended by NRC (2007); RES + ARG, 50% of nutrient requirements recommended by NRC (2007) and 20 g/d RP-Arg. RES + NCG, 50% of nutrient requirements recommended by NRC (2007) and 5 g/d NCG. a, b, c Means labeled with different letters indicate statistical significance (P < 0.05). CAT1 = cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system, member 1; EAAT3 = neuronal/epithelial high-affinity glutamate transporter, system XAG, member 1; y+ LAT2 = amino acid transporter light chain, y+ L system, member 7; ASCT2 = alanine-serine-cysteine amino acid transporter 2; PEPT1 = peptide transporter 1.
