Figure 4.
Expression of genes related to hypoxia and vascular function. (a) The relative expression of HIF1A (related to hypoxia) and VEGFA, VEGFR2, ssc-mir-126 and PTPRE (related to vascular function). Values are presented as mean ± SEM (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001). (b) Three genes (ssc-mir-126, PTPRE, LRP8), related to endothelial homeostasis showed hypomethylation in the promoters or gene bodies in the AB pigs.
