Relative mRNA expression of sialyltransferases and sialidases in soleus (SOL) muscles of hibernating Daurian ground squirrels. Relative mRNA levels of 3-sialyltransferases 1–6 (ST3Gal1–6) and sialidases (NEU1–4) in the SOL muscles of squirrels at different timepoints during hibernation. mRNA expression of ST3Gal1 (A), ST3Gal2 (B) and ST3Gal5 (D) was changed and mRNA expression of ST3Gal3 (C), NEU1 (E) and NEU3 (F) did not differ in the SOL muscles of squirrels during hibernation. mRNA levels of ST3Gal4, ST3Gal6, NEU2 and NEU4 in the SOL muscles of squirrels were below the detection levels. Data are expressed as means ± standard deviations, n = 8. Analysis of variance was used to assess differences among groups. **P < 0.01 vs. HIB. PRE, pre-hibernation group; HIB, hibernation group; IBA, interbout arousal group; POST, post-hibernation group.
