The role of the TOR signaling pathway was confirmed by RAPA pretreatment. A The comparisons of egg counts showed that significantly fewer eggs were laid in the CAP group than in the control group, but the difference disappeared under pretreatment with RAPA. B Western blot was conducted to detect the protein levels of p-TOR and Vg. Beta-actin was used as the internal reference protein. The phosphorylated TOR and Vg protein levels were obviously downregulated by CAP pretreatment, but the difference disappeared under pretreatment with RAPA. Data analysis was confirmed by t-test. ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001; ns, no significant difference
