Figure 1From: Cardiac responses to elevated seawater temperature in Atlantic salmonCardiac expression of selected genes in fish reared under normal and elevated temperature. Relative mRNA transcription levels of A) heat shock protein 70, HSP70; B) carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1, CPT1; C) peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ coactivator 1α, PGC1α; D) α-hemoglobin; E) T cell antigen CD8 alpha in fish reared at normal (14°C, filled circles) and elevated (19°C, open circles) temperature for 21 and 56 days. Data are mean log2 expression ratio ± SEM relative to the average of normalized controls (14°C, 21 days), real-time qPCR. Statistical differences (adjusted p-value < 0.05; pairwise t-tests of the four groups, N = 9) are indicated between temperatures (21 days: a*, 56 days: b*) and time points for 19°C fish (c*).Back to article page
