Analysis of transcripts related to myogenic regulatory factors in thigh muscle tissues and cells from different pre-plating stages. (A) Means read counts ± standard error of the mean (SEM) in male (group 1) and female (group 2) thigh muscle tissues, and DF-1 cells (group 5). Significance between males and females was assessed at the *p < 0.05 level, with n = 4 for each group. (B) Mean read counts ± SEM for pre-plating stage 1 (Group 3), pre-plating stage 7 (Group 4) cells, and DF-1 cells (Group 5). Significance could not be assessed for pre-plating stages (pp1 vs. pp7) due to the limited number of repetitions (n = 2).
