Table 8 Relative expression of mRNAs for angiogenic factors and AQPs in the placentae of gilts fed a diet supplemented with 0.4% L-arginine (Arg) versus 0 Arg between d 14 and d 30 of gestation

From: Dietary supplementation with 0.4% L-arginine between days 14 and 30 of gestation enhances NO and polyamine syntheses and water transport in porcine placentae

  1. Values are the relative expression of genes in the placentae of gilts supplemented with 0.4% L-arginine (9 gilts), compared to gilts supplemented with 0 L-arginine (control; 7 gilts) between d 14 and d 30 of gestation. The abundances of mRNAs for the genes were measured by qPCR using SYBR Green
