Heatmap of relative mRNA gene expression on the hypothalamus (A), pituitary gland (B) and head-kidney (C) of European seabass fed experimental diets (CTRL and TRP) during 7 under stressful conditions or not (Ø), followed by a bacterial challenge. Lines represent the different dietary treatments and columns represent genes assessed. Pearson’s method was used to calculate the distance metric and relative mRNA levels were hierarchically clustered with the centroid linkage algorithm. Colours represent the intensity of the analysed gene; green more intense; red less intense.
