Fig. 1: Muscle fiber type and targeted metabolome of three pig breeds at 80 and 125 days of age (n = 8).
From: Lactobacillus regulate muscle fiber type conversion in Chinese native pigs via tryptophan metabolism
Data are presented as means with SD. A Representative images of three pig breeds, B immunofluorescent staining for muscle fiber types, C slow-twitch fiber percentage and cross-sectional area, D mRNA expression of four myosin-heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms, E, F partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) score plots of targeted metabolome in muscle of three pig breeds at 80 and 125 days of age. G, H Heatmaps of top 50 differential metabolites concentrations in muscle of three pig breeds at 80 and 125 days of age. I, J Pathway enrichment analysis of top 50 differential metabolites in longissimus dorsi muscle of three pig breeds at 80 and 125 days of age. Different lowercase letters on bars indicate significant differences among pig breeds (P < 0.05, Tukey’s post-hoc test). Asterisks denote significant differences between different ages (P < 0.05, Students’ t test). TB, Taoyuan black; XB, Xiangcun black.
