Retinoic acid improved mitochondrial biogenesis and function, altered myofiber type composition. A Relative mRNA content of MyHC I, MyHC IIa, MyHC IIb and MyHC IIx. B Protein expression of MyHC I and MyHC IIx. C Relative mRNA content of TFAM and NRF1. D mtDNA content. E Relative mRNA content of UQCRC1 and ATP5A1. F Protein expression of UQCRC1 and ATP5A1. G SDH and MDH activities. Data were shown as mean ± SEM; n = 3 in each group, 3 replications were used during the experiment and each well was considered as an experiment unit from different lambs, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
