  1. Genes were considered to be regulated (positive for the set criterion) if the fold change (FC) is smaller than −1.2 or higher than 1.2 and the P value ≤0.05. Positive (r) are the number of genes in the pathway that meet the above-mentioned criterion. Measured (n) are the number of genes in the pathway that are present on the microarray. Total is the total amount of genes in a specific pathway. Percentage (%) is the percentage of the measured genes meeting the set criterion
