Fig. 2

Maternal organic Se supplementation during gestation changed the expression of muscle development-related genes in offspring. A The expression of muscle development-related genes in newborn piglets (n = 10). B The expression of muscle development-related genes in weaned piglets (n = 6). Myf5, myogenic factor 5; MyoD, myogenic differentiation antigen; MyoG, myogenin; MRF4, myogenic regulatory factor 4; Pax7, paired box 7; MSTN, Myostatin; IGF1, insulin-like growth factor 1; IGF 1R, IGF receptor type 1; IGFBP5, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-5; mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin. Data are presented as means ± SE. a,bP < 0.05 between different superscripts within the same gene
