Differential gene expression patterns in response to PHx in the Carbohydrate group. a Average differential expression was computed at each time point post PHx, based on comparing PHx samples and the corresponding excised LLM tissue at t = 0 from the same animals. The genes are ordered based on the expression patterns shown in B. b A total of 27 discretized expression patterns based on three possible levels of regulation (up, down and no change) at each of the three time points (1, 6 and 24 h post PHx). The pattern counts are based on a differential regulation threshold of 1.75 fold. The majority of the genes were in the patterns that showed differential regulation at 24 h post PHx. A large set of genes showed no change in the Carbohydrate samples, but were included here, as these genes show differential regulation in other dietary groups. c A selection of statistically enriched processes and key genes in the discretized patterns
