Expression of sodium dependent high‐affinity (µmol/L) apical transporters. (A) Relative mRNA expression of Na⁺‐dependent high‐affinity apical transporter ASCT2 (SLC1A5) and (B) Relative mRNA expression of Na⁺‐dependent high‐affinity apical transporter B⁰AT2‐like (SLC6A15‐like) in pyloric caeca (PC), midgut (MG), and hindgut (HG) of triploid and diploid rainbow trout using RT‐qPCR. Housekeeping gene EFα1 was used for normalization of mRNA abundance data. Values were expressed as means ± SEM (n = 8–10). Asterisks represent significant differences between ploidy (Student’s t‐test, P < 0.05).
