Figure 5: Effect of cerulenin treatment on adiponectin gene expression in broiler chickens: Two homogenous weight-matched groups of 2-wk-old broiler chickens (n = 4) were intravenously treated with cerulenin or RPMI medium as a control. Birds were killed and total RNA was isolated from liver, hypothalamus, and muscle and subjected to RT-QPCR. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. * P<0.05 indicates a significant difference between cerulenin-treated group and the control.
