Fig. 6From: Vitamin A regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and function through p38 MAPK-PGC-1α signaling pathway and alters the muscle fiber composition of sheepRetinoic acid affected myofiber type composition through p38 MAPK-PGC-1α signaling. A Relative PGC-1α content. B Relative mRNA content of MyHC I, MyHC IIa, MyHC IIb and MyHC IIx. C Protein expression of PGC-1α, MyHC I, and MyHC IIx. Data were shown as mean ± SEM; n = 3 in each group, 3 replications were used during the experiment and each well was considered as an experiment unit from different lambs. a–cValues with different letters indicated significant differences (P < 0.05)Back to article page
