From: Dietary restriction reveals sex-specific expression of the mTOR pathway genes in Japanese quails

Effects of dietary restriction on expression of genes mediating nutrient availability in male Japanese quails. (a) mTOR, mechanistic target of rapamycin, (b) RPS6K1, ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1, (c) ATG9A, autophagy-related 9A, (d) IGF1, insulin-like growth factor 1, (e) IGF1R, insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor, (f) GHR, growth hormone receptor. Relative mRNA expression is analysed in log of fold change. Data are represented by the mean ± SEM from 8 birds per group. The Tukey test was used as a post hoc test at p < 0.05 significance level. Means followed by a common letter are not significantly different at p < 0.05. ADL ad libitum, DR20 20% restriction, DR30 30% restriction, DR40 40% restriction.
