Functional detection of the livers between IUGR and NBW piglets. a The serum level of ALT, AST, and TP in the IUGR piglets compared with NBW (* P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01). b Light microscopy of the liver tissue between the NBW and IUGR groups on Days 1, 7, and 28 for Hematoxylin eosin (H&E) staining. indicates lymphocyte infiltration, and indicates vacuolization. c Representative transmission electron micrographs of the liver sections from NBW and IUGR groups on Days 1, 7, and 28. N: nucleus; Nu: nucleolus; M: mitochondria; RER: rough endoplasmic reticulum; Gl: glycogen; LD: lipid droplets; black arrows: cytoplasmic material loss
