From: Differential transcriptional modulation of duplicated fatty acid-binding protein genes by dietary fatty acids in zebrafish (Danio rerio): evidence for subfunctionalization or neofunctionalization of duplicated genes

Figure 3

The steady-state level of fabp7a and fabp7b mRNA in intestine (A, B), liver (C, D), muscle (E, F), and brain (G, H) of zebrafish fed diets differing in FA content. The level of fabp7a and fabp7b mRNA in intestine, liver, muscle, and brain of fish fed either diet HD, LD, LND, or LFD was determined by RT-qPCR using gene-specific primers. The steady-state level of fabp transcripts was normalized to the steady-state level of ef1α transcripts in the same samples. Data are presented as the mean ratio ± S.E.M. (x 10-3). Significant differences in the relative steady-state level of fabp mRNA between fish (n = 6) fed different diets are indicated by an asterisk. fabp7b mRNA was not detected (ND) in muscle (F).
