Effect of supplemental C. butyricum on FA metabolism of IUGR suckling piglets. A The mRNA abundance of genes related to FA uptake and transport. B The mRNA abundance of genes related to FA synthesis. C The mRNA abundance of genes related to FA oxidation. D The protein levels of FXR and PPARα. The column and its bar represented the means value and SE (n = 8), respectively. Significant difference is depicted as ^*P < 0.05 when compared with NBW-CON, ^#P < 0.05 when compared with IUGR-CON group. FATP2, fatty acid transport protein 2; CD36, cluster of differentiation 36; CAV1, caveolin 1; FABP, fatty acid binding protein; SREBP1c, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c; ACC, acetyl-CoA carboxylase; FASN, fatty acid synthase; DGAT1, diacylglycerol transferase 1; DGAT2, diacylglycerol transferase 2; FXR, farnesoid X receptor; CPT1, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1; PPARα, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α; LCAD, long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; ACOX, acyl-CoA oxidase; NBW-CON, piglets with normal birth weight; IUGR-CON, piglets with intrauterine growth restriction; IUGR-CB, piglets with intrauterine growth restriction supplemented with Clostridium butyricum
