The effects of exogenous insulin on mRNA abundance of candidate genes among different tissues. Fowls were injected with 80 μg insulin/kg BW via hypodermic (n = 6 for each time-point/breed). Left side is for AA broilers and right side is for Silky fowls. (A,B) GLUT2; (C,D) GLUT12; (E,F) NPY; (G,H) IR. OB = olfactory bulb; PM = pectoralis major; Panc = pancreas. Different capital letter across samples in one tissue indicates P < 0.05, same letter indicates P > 0.05.
