From: Molecular characterization, gene expression and dependence on thyroid hormones of two type I keratin genes (sseKer1 and sseKer2) in the flatfish Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensisKaup)

Figure 5

Relative sseKer1 and sseKer2 expression levels during larval development (from 2 to 22 DAH) in Senegalese sole. Expression values were normalized to those of GAPDH2. Data were expressed as the mean fold change (mean ± SEM, n = 3) from the calibrator group (2 DAH). Different letters denote days that are significantly different (P < 0.05), analyzed using ANOVA followed by a Tukey test. Double letters indicate intermediate states of statistical significance between the corresponding single letters. The interval for the metamorphic process is shaded. The expression profiles are quite different. Whereas sseKer1 reaches a peak at 13 DAH, the highest expression levels of sseKer2 are detected at 3 DAH, coinciding with external feeding.
