Dual Functions in Response to Heat Stress and Spermatogenesis: Characterization of Expression Profile of Small Heat Shock Proteins 9 and 10 in Goat Testis

Figure 1

mRNA expression profile of HSPB9 and HSPB10 in adult goat tissues. (a) Tissue distribution of HSPB9 mRNA in goat. (b) Tissue distribution of HSPB10 mRNA in goat. Five independent reactions were performed per sample, and the mean values of 8 samples (mean ± SD, ) were then compared with the mean expression levels of the housekeeping genes (-actin). Results that are significantly different () from heart are indicated with and those significantly different () from heart are indicated with . Testis (TE), epididymis (EP), heart (HE), liver (LI), spleen (SP), lung (LU), kidney (KI), muscle (MU), cerebrum (CE), stomach (ST), and small intestine (SM).
