The expression levels of DEGs related to IMF metabolism by q-PCR between breast and thigh tissues at 42d and 90 d. a and c. Some representative genes involved in accelerating lipid deposition (PPARG, PPARGC1A, LPL, FABP4, THRSP, RBP7 and LDLR) were significantly (P <0.01) down-regulated in breast compared with that in thigh at 42 d and 90 d; b Other representative genes involved in regulating PPARG (RXRA and CEBPB) were significantly (P < 0.01) up-regulated, and fatty acid metabolism (CPT2, FABP3 and KLF2) were significantly (P < 0.01) down-regulated in breast compared with that in thigh at 42 d and 90 d. Data are the means ± SD, n = 6
