Fig. 6. Relative expression of (A) MyoD I and (B) MyoD II mRNA in red muscle of
GH-transgenic and non-transgenic Atlantic salmon at 4 and 7 months of age.
Sample size equals 11 for transgenic salmon at 4 months, 10 for non-transgenic
salmon at 7 months and 10 for transgenic salmon at 7 months. Results are means
± s.e.m. MyoD I data were log transformed to obtain normality. Data
were analysed using one-way ANOVA, P=0.006 for MyoD I and
P<0.001 for MyoD II (Tukey–Kramer,
<0.05). Red
muscle could not be sampled from control salmon at 4 months due to the small
size of the fish. Different letters indicate significant differences. See
Fig. 4 legend for the
definition of relative expression. (C) Picture of the gel used to analyse band
intensities.
