Real-time qPCR analysis for muscle development-related genes (MyoG (A); MyoD (B); MTOR (C); IGF-1 (D); MSTN (E)) expression in broiler chickens supplied with GHBP at day 20 and day 38 of age. GHBP: growth hormone-boosting peptide; MyoD: myogenic determination factor; MyoG: myogenin; MSTN: myostatin; mTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin; IGF-1: insulin-like growth factor 1. Bars with different letters above them correspond to values that were significantly different (p < 0.05). Control: basal diet without GHBP; GHBP100: basal diet plus GHBP at a level of 100 μg/kg; GHBP200: basal diet plus GHBP at a level of 200 μg/kg; GHBP300: basal diet plus GHBP at a level of 300 μg /kg. a,b,c,d Means with different superscripts within the same row differ significantly (p < 0.05).
