| (Δ) value is the result of the baseline data subtracted from the 3rd month data. We calculated the delta value of each measurement. Delta (Δ is the result of the subtraction of the baseline data from the 3rd month data (3rd month-baseline). mRNA expression levels are presented as relative quantification units (RQU). |
