Effects of Dietary Carbohydrate Levels on the Growth and Glucose Metabolism of Juvenile Swimming Crab, Portunus trituberculatus

Figure 9

Heat map analysis of gene expressions related to glucose and lipid metabolism, glucose transport, and insulin-like metabolism in the hepatopancreas of Portunus trituberculatus fed with dietary carbohydrate levels. From dark blue to positive red, it represents the process of gradual increase of gene expression. D0: 0.0 g kg-1 carbohydrate level; D6: 60.0 g kg-1 carbohydrate level; D12: 120.0 g kg-1 carbohydrate level; D18: 180.0 g kg-1 carbohydrate level; D24: 240.0 g kg-1 carbohydrate level; D30: 300.0 g kg-1 carbohydrate level.
