Table 2 Effects of dietary PQQ supplementation on diarrhea incidence (%) in weaned pigs 1

From: Pyrroloquinoline quinone regulates the redox status in vitro and in vivo of weaned pigs via the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway

Item Pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium levels,% SEM P-value

0 – 14, d 23.07a 22.32a 18.60a 13.24b 1.71 <  0.01

  1. 1 SEM standard error of the mean; the values are means ± SEM; 6 replicates. Means within a row lacking a common letter are significantly different (P < 0.05). The incidence of diarrhea in pigs within a pen was calculated as follows: Number of pigs with diarrhea in each pen × number of days of diarrhea/(total number of pigs × number of days in the experiment) × 100
