aP values were calculated based on Mann-Whitney test (significance at P<0.05). bCancer group includes the non-metastasis group and the metastasis group. cR value was
calculated from the arithmetic mean values of each group. R=(B-A)/A. R with a positive value indicates a relatively higher concentration present in cancer group while a
negative value means a relatively lower concentration as compared to the normal. |
