Effect of tributyrin on the activities of hepatic lipase (HL), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and total lipase (TL) in the liver of piglets with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) (day 21).

HL, hepatic lipase; LPL, lipoprotein lipase; TL, total lipase, equal to hepatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase activities; Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6. SEM, standard error of mean. a,b,c Mean values within a line with different superscript letters were significantly different (P < 0.05). NBW, piglets with normal birth weight that were fed with basic milk diets; IUGR: piglets with intrauterine growth retardation that were fed with basic milk diets; IT, piglets with intrauterine growth retardation that were fed with diets supplemented with 0.1% tributyrin. Effect of tributyrin on the activities of hepatic lipase (HL), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and total lipase (TL) in the liver of piglets with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) (day 21).
