Effect of dietary fiber consumption on tryptophan metabolism on d 110 of pregnancy. (A) Plasma serotonin concentration before and after the morning meal; (B) Plasma tryptophan concentration; (C) Plasma kynurenine concentration; (D) Plasma serotonin/ tryptophan ratio; (E) Plasma kynurenine/ tryptophan ratio. LF sows fed a basal diet, HF sows fed with the basal diet added with extra 22.60 g/kg inulin and 181.60 g/kg cellulose. n = 6 per group. Values are mean ± standard error. The level of statistical significance was set by *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01, and +0.05 < P < 0.10 was considered a trend toward significance
