Effects of Dietary Chlorogenic Acid Supplementation Derived from Lonicera macranthoides Hand-Mazz on Growth Performance, Free Amino Acid Profile, and Muscle Protein Synthesis in a Finishing Pig Model

Figure 1

Effects of different levels of dietary CGA supplementation on relative mRNA expression levels of essential amino acid transporters in skeletal muscles of finishing pigs. (a) The amino acids available for protein biosynthesis in skeletal muscles rely on the uptake and translocation by amino acid transporters. (b) Relative mRNA expression levels of primary amino acid transporters in LD muscles. (c) Relative mRNA expression levels of primary amino acid transporters in BF muscles. Values are presented as the mean values, with their standard errors represented by vertical bars. a,b,cValues in the same row with different superscript letters are significantly different at .
