Analysis of Expression and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of INHA Gene Associated with Reproductive Traits in Chickens

Figure 3

The mRNA and protein expression levels of INHA in chicken reproductive system. (a) The abundance of INHA mRNA. (b) INHA protein detected by Western blotting from the chicken preovulatory follicles and normalized to β-actin protein content. SWF = small white follicle, LWF = large white follicle, SYF = small yellow follicle, F5 = the fifth largest preovulatory follicle, F4 = the fourth largest preovulatory follicle, F3 = the third largest preovulatory follicle, F2 = the second largest preovulatory follicle, and F1 = the largest preovulatory follicle. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 5). Least square means with different letters differed significantly (P < 0.05).
