“…Few reports in the literature have investigated how the abundance of myogenic regulatory genes is altered in chicken embryos exposed to distinct adverse incubation temperatures and timing exposures (Gabriel et al, 2003(Gabriel et al, , 2006. Based on this evidence, the purpose of the present study was to quantify the levels of MyoD and myostatin transcripts in chicken embryos exposed to low and high incubation temperatures for distinct timing exposure using real time PCR assays.…”
