Effects of cadmium chloride on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress of liver in laying hens. (A–E) ROS fluorescence intensity in the liver tissues (400 magnification). (A) Control (0.47 mg Cd/kg); (B) 7.58 mg Cd/kg; (C) 15.56 mg Cd/kg; (D) 30.55 mg Cd/kg; (E) 60.67 mg Cd/kg. (F) Densitometric analysis of dihydroethidium (DHE) fluorescence in each experimental group. (G, H) Method of 2−ΔΔCt was applied for calculation of relative gene expression with β-actin as the endogenous control and the average ΔCt value of 0.47 μmol Cd group as the calibrator to normalize the signal. Values were expressed as mean ± SE (n = 6). a-cColumns with different superscript letters are significantly different (P < 0.05). Abbreviation: ROS, reactive oxygen species.
