Fig. 4.

Expression of selected genes in the adrenal glands of Red Junglefowl (RJF) and White Leghorns (WL). Mean values are given as horizontal lines, and each individual's value is shown as a marker. Birds sampled at baseline conditions are colored blue (gray on black and white print), and birds sampled after 45 min of restraint stress are colored red (black on black and white print). Genes shown are melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R), MC2R accessory protein 2 (MRAP1), MC2R accessory protein 2 (MRAP2), Fos-related antigen 2 (FOSL2), Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (STAR), Cytochrome P450 family 11 subfamily A member 1 (CYP11A1), 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II (HSD3B2), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT).
