Table 2. Carcase traits in Mahen pigs and Large White pigs (n = 30).

Table 3. Meat quality characteristics in Mashen and Large White pigs (n = 30).

Table 4. Composition and content of amino acids in longissimus dorsi of Mashen and Large White pigs (g/100 g muscle) (n = 8).

Table 5. Composition and content of fatty acids in longissimus dorsi of Mashen and Large White pigs (% of total fatty acids) (n = 8).

Table 6. Diameter and density of muscle fibres (longissimus dorsi) in Mashen and Large White pigs (n = 30).

Figure 1. Relative expression of MyHCs mRNA in longissimus dorsi of Mashen and Large White pigs. Notes: Different letters in the same breed indicate significant differences (p < .05) among different types of MyHCs. * indicates that difference in the same gene between the Mashen and Large White pigs is significant (p < .05), and NS represents no significant difference.
