From: The sodium channel gene family is specifically expressed in hen uterus and associated with eggshell quality traits

Figure 2

Fold change of the relative expression by qPCR of SCNN1 gene family members in active uterus (eggshell mineralizing) of 49-week-old hens compared to 16-week-old pullets. Expression in the 49-week-old adult hen active uterus was compared with expression in pullet uterus. * represents a significant difference (p < 0.05). The expressions of all four genes are significantly increased in 49-week-old adult hens compared to 16-week-old pullets.
