Data are presented as means with SD. A Growth performance and B, C grip strength, D liver weight, E epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) weight, F small intestine weight, and G large intestine weight. H immunofluorescent staining for muscle fiber types; I slow-twitch fiber percentage. J The mRNA expression of four myosin heavy-chain (MyHC) isoforms. *P < 0.05 (Students’ t test). D-FMT mice received fecal microbiota transplantation from Duroc pigs at 125 days of age, and X-FMT mice received fecal microbiota transplantation from Xiangcun black (XB) pigs at 125 days of age.
