  1. Master processes and their subprocesses (child terms) are listed together with the number of genes measured (third column). Percentages reflect the fraction of genes differentially expressed (within a specific process or pathway) in the LC and HC groups compared to the Con group. Relevant biological processes were identified in GenMAPP by comparison of the set of differentially expressed genes (ANOVA; P < 0.01 and FDR < 0.05) with all genes present on the array. *Biological processes with a Z-score >2 and a PermuteP < 0.05.
