Table 4 Relative gene expression in the heart of chickens treated with different levels of AgNano

From: Silver nanoparticles administered to chicken affect VEGFA and FGF2 gene expression in breast muscle and heart

Gene symbol	Treatment					ANOVA
	Control	10 ppm AgNano	20 ppm AgNano	10 ppm AgNano^c	20 ppm AgNano^c	SEM	P value
FGF2 ^a	0.97^†	0.85	0.79	0.84	0.69^‡	0.028	0.0443
FGF2 ^b	1.47	1.32	1.34	1.15	1.31	0.054	0.5839

VEGFA ^b	0.75^†	0.93	1.12^‡	0.84	1.14^‡	0.044	0.0027

^aNormalised to ACTB; ^bnormalised to EEF1A2; ^ceggs were in ovo injected; ^†,‡different symbols indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). AgNano, nanoparticles of colloidal silver; ANOVA, analysis of variance; SEM, standard error of the mean.
