  1. aExperimental diets were corn-soybean meal based high fat diet (HF) and HF supplemented with medium dose of BCAAs (HF-MB). bT-test was performed when comparing HF-MB and HF groups. cThe results were expressed as Mean ± SEM. Because of unequal variances, SEM are reported separately. P values less than 0.05 was considered statistically different. Blood was sampled from sow ear vein at farrowing. SEM Standard error of mean
