The differentially expressed (DE) genes listed in this table were common in the comparisons, GLTPEF vs. STHPEF, GLTSUF vs. STHSUF, and GLTTAF vs. STHTAF. The PPAR signaling pathway and ECM–receptor interaction were enriched through KEGG pathway analysis. The gene expression level was evaluated by RPKM. The ratio was defined as the RPKM value of a gene in one tissue of STH to that in the corresponding tissue of GLT
