Fig. 1From: Transcriptional profiling and pathway analysis reveal differences in pituitary gland function, morphology, and vascularization in chickens genetically selected for high or low body weightPhenotypic characterization of juvenile male HG and LG chickens. a Body weight (BW, kg; top) and b abdominal fat (% BW; bottom) of birds from each line at post-hatch weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7 (n = 8 birds per line). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. When the two-way ANOVA demonstrated a significant line-by-age interaction (P ≤ 0.05), the presence of an asterisk (*) denotes a significant difference between the lines at the indicated age (P ≤ 0.05).
