3 , compared to the CON group, HDCA enhanced the protein expression of TGR5 in abdominal fat and backfat ( P < 0.05), and LCA showed a trend towards enhancing PPARG protein expression ( P = 0.053) in abdominal fat and significantly enhanced PPARG protein expression ( P < 0.001) in backfat of finishing pigs. 3.7 HDCA reduced the adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 mature adipocytes The results above showed that HDCA tended to reduce backfat thickness and improved carcass quality in finishing pigs compared to LCA.
