Figure 3From: Effect of environmental salinity on expression of adrenomedullin genes suggests osmoregulatory activity in the medaka, Oryzias latipes Messenger RNA expression of AM2 (A) and AM3 (B) in tissues of medaka one week after transfer from an 11 ppt isotonic saline solution to salinities of 0 ppt (freshwater) and 33 ppt (seawater). Asterisks indicate significant differences (*P < 0.05) in a Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison test following one-way ANOVA (A) or a Steel-Dwass multiple comparison test (B). Values are means ± SEM (n = 4–6) and mRNA levels are expressed in arbitrary units normalized to ribosomal protein L7 levels.Back to article page
