Excessive Effects of Extreme Energy Levels on Lipid Metabolism in Ningxiang Pigs: Insights from Gut Microbiota and Glycerophospholipid Metabolism
The findings suggest RE had no obvious negative effect on carcass traits of Ningxiang pigs. Apart from exacerbated body fat deposition, EE promoted fat accumulation in the liver by up-regulating the expression of lipogenic genes. Dietary energy changes affect hepatic bile acid metabolism, which may be mediated through the glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway, as well as disturbances in the gut microbiota.
