Plasma fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19), bile acids, and insulin in piglets at birth and after feeding and sow plasma and amniotic fluid FGF19. A: plasma FGF19 levels were approximately 10 times greater in term pigs than in preterm pigs at birth (n = 33 preterm and 23 term). B: plasma FGF19 levels were greater in term pigs on day 3 [P (GA) <0.001] (preterm, n = 17; term, n =13), but levels within gestational age (GA) groups were similar across time postfeeding [P (GA × Hour) >0.05]. C: total bile acid level in plasma of preterm and term pigs before and after feeding on day 3 of life (preterm, n = 17; term, n =13). D: plasma insulin levels in preterm and term pigs before and after feeding on day 3 of life [P (Hour) < 0.05, P (GA) >0.05] (preterm, n = 14; term, n = 13). E: plasma levels of FGF19 in sows immediately before cesarean section at term or preterm gestation (n = 5–7). F: FGF19 levels in amniotic fluid collected during cesarean section (n = 5–6) of term and preterm piglets. Data are shown as means ± SE. #P (Hour) <0.05; *P (GA) < 0.05; ****P (GA) <0.0001.
