Effect of maternal HMSeBA supplementation during gestation on the expression of selenoprotein genes in LD muscle of offspring. A The expression of selenoprotein genes in LD muscle of newborn piglets (n = 10). B The expression of selenoprotein genes in LD muscle of weaned piglets (n = 6). GPX, Glutathione peroxidase; SELP, Selenoprotein P; TXNRD, Thioredoxin reductase; SELW, selenoprotein W; SEPHS2, Selenophosphate synthetase 2; SELO, Selenoprotein O; SELH, Selenoprotein H; DIO, Iodothyronine deiodinase; SELN, Selenoprotein N. Data are shown as means ± SE. a,bP < 0.05 between different superscripts within the same gene
