The glutathione redox status (GSH/GSSG Eh) in (a) erythrocytes, (b) duodenal mucosa, (c) distal jejunal mucosa and (d) liver tissue of piglets either weaned at three weeks of age (3w), four weeks of age (4w), or separated from the sow at 3 d of age and fed a milk replacer until weaning at 3w of age (3d3w). Values are least squares means ± SE (n = 12 as low birth weight and normal birth weight piglets were pooled together). a,b Per day post-weaning, means without a common superscript differ for the effect of weaning treatment (WT: P ≤ 0.05)
