From: Tissue-specific differential induction of duplicated fatty acid-binding protein genes by the peroxisome proliferator, clofibrate, in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Figure 3

The steady-state level of   acox1  mRNA and hnRNA in various tissues of zebrafish fed clofibrate. The level of mRNA and hnRNA of the acox1 gene in liver (A, F), intestine (B, G), muscle (C, H), heart (D, I) and brain (E, J) was determined by RT-qPCR using gene-specific primers. The steady-state level of acox1 transcripts was normalized to the steady-state level of rpl13α transcripts in the same sample. Data are presented as the mean ratio ± S.E.M. Significant differences (p < 0.05) in the relative steady-state level of acox1 mRNA and hnRNA between zebrafish [n = 12, (male = 6, female = 6)] fed different concentrations of clofibrate compared to zebrafish not fed clofibrate are indicated by an asterisk.
