Supplementary information 1. Mean mRNA levels of putative lipidation-related genes in ovaries from beluga, Huso huso at different stages of oogenesis. All data were normalized over total RNA. A: lpl: lipoprotein lipase, B: vldlr: very low density lipoprotein receptor, C: lrp8: lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8, D: apoe: apolipoprotein e. Different letters above bars indicate significantly different means (one-way ANOVA, P < 0.05). Abbreviations for gonadal development: PN: perinucleolar (n = 8); OD: oil droplet (n = 19); PY: primary yolk (n = 5); SY: secondary yolk (n = 3) and TY: tertiary yolk stages (n = 3).
