Transcriptional profiling in skeletal muscle of 48 pigs (132 days of age) originated from two lines divergently selected for residual feed intake (RFI) : low-RFI pigs (RFIneg), high-RFI pigs (RFIpl). Both lines were offered isocaloric and isoproteic diets with contrasted energy source and nutrients: low fat, low fiber (LF) diet or a high fat, high fiber (HF)diet during 10 weeks. Effects of RFI selection, diet and interaction between diet and line were investigated.
Overall design
Four experimental groups: low-RFI pigs fed high fat, high fiber diet (HF_RFIneg), high-RFI pigs fed high fat, high fiber diet(HF_RFIpl), low-RFI pigs fed low fat, low fiber diet (LF_RFIneg) and high-RFI pigs fed low fat, low fiber diet(LF_RFIpl). 12 pigs per condition. One replicate per array.
