Intestinal endocrine function. (A) Caecal and (B) colon GLP-1 of adult PL, DL and DL + Lf pigs. (C) Fasting plasma GLP-1 and (D) plasma GLP-1 secretory response to meal stimulation of adult PL, DL and DL + Lf pigs. Formulas contained as lipids either: only plant lipids (PL, n = 7–9), a half-half mixture of plant and dairy lipids (DL, n = 6–8) or a half-half mixture of plant and dairy lipids supplemented with Lf (DL + Lf, n = 4–9). Data are shown as Means ± SEM. GLP-1, Glucagon-like peptide-1. A significant diet × sex effect was observed for caecal GLP-1, with the DL + Lf females having a higher concentration than DL and PL females.
