qPCR validation of microarray findings after the 12-week intervention of protein-enriched milk. Change of mRNA expression (log ratio) from baseline to end of study within the protein group. The box represents the 25-75 percentiles (IQR), and the horizontal line shows the median log ratio. The upper and lower whiskers show the largest and smallest values no further than 1.5 x IQR and data beyond the end of the whiskers are outliers and are plotted individually. Differences between the time points were tested with a paired Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test. Significantly regulated genes are marked with * (p < 0.05)
