Effects of dietary supplementation of extra-Ile on the activity of enzymes related to lipogenesis in the LDM of finishing pigs. Data were represented as mean ± SEM (n = 6). a The activity of FAS; (b), the activity of LPL; (c), the activity of SCD. FAS, fatty acid synthase; LPL, lipoprotein lipase; SCD, stearoyl-CoA desaturase. a,b Values with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05). The U/mg unit of LPL activity was defined as one micromole free fatty acid produced per milligram protein of tissue per hour, and the U/mg unit of SCD activity was defined as one nanomole oleic acid produced per milligram protein of tissue per minute
