Abstract excerpt
In this study, quantitative real-time PCR was used to compare the mRNA expression of GH, GHR, and IGF-1 genes in livers of sex-linked dwarf chickens with their normal siblings. The results showed that there was no significant difference between dwarf and normal chickens in GH expression. The expression of GHR gene was more than 3-fold higher in dwarf chickens, compared with that of the normal. However, the...
