Relationship between neonatal glutamine supplementation and amino acid profiles, protein synthesis in splanchnic tissues and the plasma metabolome in 5-day-old piglets with low birth weight

The incidence of low birthweight ( LBiW ) piglets, which show impaired growth compared to normal birthweight ( NBiW ) littermates, has increased with litter size. We previously reported that glutamine increased the bodyweight and plasma glutamine concentrations in LBiW piglets, w...
