  1. PMID: denotes the Pub Med ID if a particular publication has been primarily used to determine specific and general gene functions.
  2. a All listed genes were differentially affected by AMPH compared to EIH (FDR = 0.10). Also, genes with very high expression in blood (data not shown) are excluded from this table as well as genes which were previously reported to be affected [24, 25].
  3. b Relative to control, both EIH and AMPH significantly increased expression.
  4. * Indicates some expression may be due to residual blood in MAV.
