Figure 5From: Periodic 48 h feed withdrawal improves glucose tolerance in growing pigs by enhancing adipogenesis and lipogenesisGlucose Universal 14C uptake by cells of different diameter (μm) and from subcutaneous adipose tissue of pigs in the feed withdrawal (FW) treatments: control (no feed withdrawal), single FW (FWx1) for 48 h at 19 wk or multiple FW (FWx4) for 24 h at age 7 and 11 wk and for 48 h at 15 and 19 wk. a. cells per/mg of fat sample, b. counts/min/mg of fat and c. counts/min/104 cells. Cell numbers in the diameter ranges of 22-60 and 60-90 μm tended (p = .0773, .0613 respectively) to be greater for pigs in the FWx1 relative to those in the FWx4 treatment.
