Effects of tributyrin (TB) on concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the serum and glycogen, TC, TG, non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) in the liver of piglets with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) (day 21).

TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NEFA, non-esterified fatty acid. 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.
