Pterostilbene attenuates liver injury and oxidative stress in intrauterine growth–retarded weanling piglets

The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of pterostilbene, a beneficial component primarily found in blueberries, to alleviate the intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR)-induced early liver injury and oxidative stress in a porcine model. Thirty-six IUGR piglets and an equal number of normal birth weight (NBW) counterparts received a diet with or without pterostilbene (250 mg/kg diet) during the first week post-weaning....
