Excessive glucose consumption induced by cold exposure promotes lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation. A The mRNA expression of fat metabolism related genes in the liver of Min pigs. B The mRNA expression of fat metabolism related genes in the liver of Yorkshire pigs. C and D CPT-1α and ATGL protein expression in the liver of Yorkshire pigs. E Correlation coefficients between plasma glucose, mucus layer, inflammatory response, epithelial barrier and microbiota. Correlation coefficients > 0.5 or ≤ 0.5. Pink and blue colors denote positive and negative correlations, respectively. Color intensity is proportional to Spearman’s rank correlation values. n = 6. *P < 0.05. **P < 0.01
