Effect of starvation on the gene expression involved in lipid transport in liver tissues. (A) Expression of apolipoprotein genes, including apoa1b, apoa2, apoa4b.1, apoea, apoc1, apoc2, apoeb, apoa4b.2, apobb.1, apom, apoa4a, apoba, apodb, apoa1a, apoc4, apooa, apoda.1, apoob, apof, apol1, apobb.2, and apool, were extracted in the control larvae from RNA-seq data. (B) Hepatic very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels in the control and starved larvae at 8 dpf were determined. (C) Differential expression of the top 10 apolipoprotein genes in the control and starved larvae. The FPKM value represents the mean ± SEM of three independent RNA-seq biological replicates. * indicates significant differences (p < 0.05).
