From: Transcriptional analysis of abdominal fat in chickens divergently selected on bodyweight at two ages reveals novel mechanisms controlling adiposity: validating visceral adipose tissue as a dynamic endocrine and metabolic organ

Verification of differentially expressed genes associated with abdominal fatness by qRT-PCR analysis. The abundance of eight genes, expressed higher in the HG and associated with their increased fatness [4 transcription factors (a) and 4 metabolic enzymes (b)], was verified by qRT-PCR analysis. Data points represent the mean ± SE of 4 birds/genotype and age. Significant differences between genotypes at each age were determined using a one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons procedure at a significance level of P≤0.05 (*), P≤0.01 (**) and P≤0.001 (***)
