Western blot results reflect the effect of dietary supplementation of extra-Ile on the expression of AMPK signaling in the LDM of finishing pigs. Data were represented as mean ± SEM (n = 6). a The phosphorylation of AMPKα protein; (b) the phosphorylation of ACC protein; (c), the expression of PPARγ protein; (d), the expression of C/EBPα protein. AMPKα, adenosine-activated protein kinase α; ACC, acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase; C/EBPα, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. ^a,b Values with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05)
