Validation of the expression of DEGs by qRT-PCR. Relative expression abundances of 12 DEGs validated by qRT-PCR in MS vs. MC (a) and ML vs. MC (b). The transcript level was measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and normalized to the abundance of a housekeeping gene (β-actin). The data are represented as (). 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).
