Fig. 4From: Expression of proposed methionine transporters along the gastrointestinal tract of pigs and their regulation by dietary methionine sourcesWestern blot analysis of B0AT1, ASCT2, LAT2, and LAT4 in the intestinal and extraintestinal regions of pigs fed three different diets. Each value is the mean of 9 pigs and represents the relative expression to the IRC (IRC = 1). Data was compared with two-way ANOVA for the factors “Tissue”, “Diet”, and their interaction “Tissue × Diet”. Significant factor effects are mentioned in each graph. If column groups or columns do not share a common small letter within one graph, their expression values are either different irrespective of diet(a–c) or within a given diet(y,z) (P < 0.05). A,BDifferent capital letters indicate diet effects within a given tissue. OM, oral mucosa; CAR, cardia; FUN, fundus; PYL, pylorus; DUO, duodenum; PJ, proximal jejunum; MJ, middle jejunum; IL, ileum; CAE, cecum; PC, proximal colon; DC, distal colonBack to article page
