  1. a Values are least squares diet means, pooled standard error of the mean (SEM) and number (n) of serum samples analyzed by sampling period, 2 d before expected parturition at day 115 of gestation (−2 d) and 4 d after parturition (+ 4 d)
  2. b Probability values for SP (sampling period), D (diet), L (linear contrast of % SDPP in diet), Q (quadratic contrast of % SDPP in diet), and INT (interaction of SP and D)
  3. c Number of sows sampled by period and diet; number of samples analyzed per cytokine or oxidation status marker varied due to discarded samples affected by hemolysis
