Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) piglets exhibited a slower rate of growth and protein synthesis.

We treated the IUGR piglet with class="smallcaps">l-leucine.

The gene expressions related to protein synthesis were evaluated.

Leucine activated the mTOR signaling pathway and reduced muscle atrophy in IUGR piglets.
