(e) mxl-3 and hlh-30 transcriptional levels in wild-type, hlh-30(tm1978) and mxl-3(ok1947) mutants in the basal and fasted states show that mxl-3 transcription is hlh-30 independent, and hlh-30 transcription is mxl-3 independent. Expression is presented relative to wild-type fed animals as mean ddCt+s.e.m. No significant differences relative to wild type in the same feeding state were observed, n = 3 independent experiments.
