Figure 5From: Porcine congenital splayleg is characterised by muscle fibre atrophy associated with relative rise in MAFbx and fall in P311expressionQuantitative PCR was performed for P311 expression. In contrast to MAFbx, P311 expression was down-regulated in all PCS muscle samples. Results of each litter are expressed as mean ± standard deviation from triplicate samples within the same experiment. Combined results of 4 sets of PCS piglets also tested for significance (*p < 0.05) in differences between pair-wise combinations of the least square means. Norm = normal; PCS = porcine congenital splayleg.Back to article page
