Expression pattern of transcripts involved in the TH cascade during halibut metamorphosis. Schematic representation of the relative gene expression by qPCR of a thyroid hormones action (TRαA, TRαB, TRβ) and production (Tg); and b thyroid hormones transport (MCT8, MCT10) and regulation of the cellular availability of THs (DIO1, DIO2, DIO3) during Atlantic halibut metamorphosis. Results are presented as relative gene expression (arbitrary units). For detailed information and significance between stages for each transcript, please see Additional file 14
