Starvation Affects the Muscular Morphology, Antioxidant Enzyme Activity, Expression of Lipid Metabolism-Related Genes, and Transcriptomic Profile of Javelin Goby (Synechogobius hasta)

Figure 8

Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs in Synechogobius hasta muscle (Top 20). Representative top 20 pathways of DEGs identified in the comparison of MS vs. MC (a), ML vs. MC (b), and MS vs. ML (c). The horizontal axis denotes the ratio of DEGs with a specific pathway term relative to all DEGs. The vertical axis represents the annotated KEGG pathway term. The size and color of the bubbles represent the number of DEGs with a specific KEGG pathway and the enriched significance, respectively. MC: muscle in the control group (continuously fed for 14 days); MS: muscle in the starved group (starved for 3 days); ML: muscle in the starved group (starved for 14 days).
