Figure 9. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to investigate the mRNA profiles of HMGCR in Yorkshire conceptus on Days 12 and 15 of pregnancy, in Meishan and Yorkshire placentas Days 26, 50 and 95 of pregnancy and in the glits livers.
HMGCR mRNAs were highly expressed in the liver and placenta, but the levels of HMGCR mRNAs were very low in the conceptus. Asterisks indicate significant differences (mean ± SD) between breeds (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01), P value was determined by Student’s t test.
