  1. p-value * of microarray data and p-value ** of RT-qPCR data for statistical analysis (two-way ANOVA). Threshold of significance was set at p ≤ 0.01 and p < 0.05 for microarray and RT-qPCR data. Ratios indicating fold changes in experimental group (CR vs Controls) are presented for microarray and RT-qPCR data. +, indicates up-regulation; –, down-regulation in CR animals of both sexes
