Table 4 Transcript levels of genes involved in fatty acid utilization, citrate cycle, oxidative phosphorylation and thermogenesis in LD muscle of pigs fed either a control diet or a diet supplemented with 750 mg niacin/kg diet for 3 wk

From: Niacin supplementation increases the number of oxidative type I fibers in skeletal muscle of growing pigs
