Figure 1. Effects of chitosan oligosaccharide supplementation on the relative mRNA expression of BMP2, BMP4, PPARγ and OB-R in the foetuses of sows.

Figure 1

Values are means (six sows per treatment) with standard deviations represented by vertical bars. **P < 0.01 (indicates that the relative mRNA expression in the COS group is significantly higher than that in the CON group). CON represents a corn–soybean basal diet; COS, chitosan oligosaccharide (represents the basal diet supplemented with 100 mg/kg chitosan oligosaccharide). BMP2, bone morphogenetic protein 2. BMP4, bone morphogenetic protein 4. PPARγ, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ. OB-R, obese receptor.
