Figure 5. Effects of different diets on gene methylation levels in the mammary tissue of dairy cows.
Gene methylation was analyzed using bisulfite sequencing PCR. Data represent the mean and standard deviation (n = 10/group) and the asterisk indicates statistical difference (p<0.05) between the indicated columns. ACSL1, acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 1; FASN, fatty acid synthase; SCD, stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase; S6K1, ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1; STAT5A, signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A. LMF, low-concentrate mixed forage diet; HCS, high-concentrate corn straw diet; LCS, low-concentrate corn straw diet.
