Values are fold change ± SE; n = 8/group. The transcript expressions were measured using QRT-PCR with Fluidigm dynamic array for NF-κB-driven transcript in semitendinosus red (STR) and semitendinosus white (STW).

TN, thermal neutral; HS, heat stress; PFTN, pair fed thermal neutral.

^*Significantly different from TN (P < 0.05).

^#Significantly different from HS (P < 0.05). Gene function is based on the Gene cards.
