  1. Expression ratios and p-values are indicated for both assays and correlation coefficients between qPCR and microarray results are also shown.
  2. H = HIGH group; L = LOW group; Expression ratios between H and L groups; *correlation coefficients between qPCR and microarray results; in bold, genes whose difference in expression between groups has been validated by qPCR. Arrows up and down indicate gene overexpression and downregulation in the HIGH group, respectively.
