Gonadotrophin-Inhibiting Hormone Receptor (GnIH-R; A), Gonadotrophin-Releasing Hormone Receptor I (GnRH-RI; B), and Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor III (GnRH-RIII; C) mRNA expression levels in Lohmann, Shaver, and Smoky Joe hens at 12, 17, 20, 25, 45, 60, 75, and 100 woa. (D) Ratio between GnRH-RIII and GnIH-R mRNA levels. p-values for the sources of variation of age by strain: (A) Lohmann, p < 0.0001; Shaver, p = 0.0034; and Smoky Joe, p = 0.0061. (B) Lohmann, p = 0.0506; Shaver, p = 0.1885; and Smoky Joe, p = 0.8869. (C) Lohmann, p < 0.0001; Shaver, p = 0.0258; and Smoky Joe, p = 0.0997. (D) Lohmann, p < 0.0001; Shaver, p = 0.0012; and Smoky Joe, p = 0.0086. ^A,B,C,DData points lacking the common superscript differ significantly within the ages of each strain, while no superscript did not differ from any other time point in that strain.
