Effects of supplementing lactating sows with HMB on MyHC isoforms mRNA levels in skeletal muscle of the offspring at d 28 of age. Values are means, with their standard errors represented by vertical bars (n = 6). * Represents mean values between the two groups differ significantly at P < 0.05. Data was normalized against GAPDH, with results expressed relative to the CON sample using the ΔΔCt method (where Ct is cycle threshold) with efficiency correction. MyHC myosin heavy chain; CON control; HMB β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate
