Relative expression of the gene that encodes Heat-Shock Protein β-1 and the miRNAs founded to be involved in the post-transcriptional control of its expression. a Relative expression (2^-ΔcT) of HSPB1 to 18S in skeletal muscle of RFI-High and RFI-Low Nellore cattle (RFI-High = 1.13; RFI-Low = 3.79; SEM = 0.36); b) Relative expression (2^-ΔcT) of miR-449a to ncRNA-U6 in skeletal muscle of RFI-High and RFI-Low Nellore cattle (RFI-High = 5.90; RFI-Low = 5.57; SEM = 0.73); c) Relative expression (2^-ΔcT) of miR-2899 to ncRNA-U6 in skeletal muscle of RFI-High and RFI-Low Nellore cattle (RFI-High = 9.49; RFI-Low = 3.96; SEM = 1.05); d) Relative expression (2^-ΔcT) of miR-34a to ncRNA-U6 in skeletal muscle of RFI-High and RFI-Low Nellore cattle (RFI-High = 6.71; RFI-Low = 2.81; SEM = 0.76). Differences were considered at P < 0.05
