A Met-deficient basal diet containing 0.24% standardized ileal digestible (SID) Met was formulated. Six additional diets were formulated by adding 0.036%, 0.072%, or 0.108% d-Met or l-Met to the basal diet, and these diets, therefore, contained 77%, 87%, or 97% of the requirement for SID Met. Fifty-six barrows (10.53 \u00b1 1.17 kg) were housed in metabolism crates and allotted to the seven diets with eight replicate pigs per diet. Feces and urine were collected quantitatively with 7-d adaptation and 5-d collection periods. Blood and tissue samples from pigs fed the basal diet and pigs fed diets containing 0.108% supplemental Met were collected on the last day. Results indicated that N retention (%) linearly increased (P &amp;lt; 0.01) as supplemental d-Met or l-Met increased in diets. Based on N retention (%) as a response, the linear slope-ratio regression estimated the bioavailability of d-Met relative to l-Met to be 101% (95% confidence interval: 57%\u2013146%). The villus height and crypt depth in the jejunum were not affected by the Met level or Met source. Total antioxidant capacity or thiobarbituric acid reactive substance concentrations in plasma or tissue samples from pigs fed the control diet or diets containing 0.108% supplemental d-Met or l-Met were not different. Abundance of mRNA for some AA transporters analyzed in intestinal mucosa of pigs also did not differ. Therefore, it is concluded that d-Met and l-Met are equally bioavailable for weanling pigs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skab248","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,25]],"date-time":"2021-08-25T13:42:22Z","timestamp":1629898942000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Effects of supplemental <scp>d<\/scp>-methionine in comparison to <scp>l<\/scp>-methionine on nitrogen retention, gut morphology, antioxidant status, and mRNA abundance of amino acid transporters in weanling pigs"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"99","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0659-2348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charmaine D","family":"Espinosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801,USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John K","family":"Mathai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801,USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4292-7245","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laia","family":"Blavi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801,USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanhong","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801,USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John K","family":"Htoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evonik Operations GmbH, Hanau-Wolfgang,Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Caroline Gonzalez-Vega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evonik Operations GmbH, Hanau-Wolfgang,Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hans H","family":"Stein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801,USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021091407214859200_CIT0001","first-page":"903","article-title":"Digestion and balance techniques in pigs","volume-title":"Swine Nutrition","author":"Adeola","year":"2001"},{"key":"2021091407214859200_CIT0002","volume-title":"Official methods of analysis of AOAC int","author":"AOAC Int.","year":"2007","edition":"18"},{"key":"2021091407214859200_CIT0003","first-page":"52","volume-title":"Regulation of amino acid transport efficiency in the porcine mammary gland","author":"Arredondo","year":"2011"},{"key":"2021091407214859200_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"509","DOI":"10.1016\/0305-0491(92)90329-P","article-title":"Regional differences for the D-amino acid oxidase-catalysed oxidation of D-methionine in chicken small intestine","volume":"101","author":"Brachet","year":"1992","journal-title":"Comp.
