Investigation of growth performance and immunomodulatory factors associated with the hepatic gene expression of the insulin-like growth factor system in nursery pigs

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is an important determinant of growth in animals and recent findings suggest that immunomodulatory activity may regulate the IGF system independent of nutritional parameters. A cross-sectional study of the hepatic gene expression of the IGF system (IGF-1,...
