Ontogeny of ORM1 expression in the liver and subcutaneous adipose tissue of the preweaning pig. Dorsal subcutaneous adipose tissue and liver were collected at d 1, 7 or 21 of age. Different pigs from different litters were used at all time points. Tissue samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen for later analysis of ORM1 by absolute quantitative PCR. The Y axis represents number of copies of ORM1 mRNA per nanogram of total RNA as described in the methodology. The standard curve for liver samples had a slope of −3.307 and y intercept of 39.674 with an R 2 = 0.984. The standard curve for adipose tissue samples had a slope-3.363 and y intercept of 39.856 with an R 2 = 0.996. ab Means not sharing a common superscript letter are different (n = 5; P < 0.05)
