2.3. Q-PCR
The change in Q-PCR expression of the 16 genes (11 + 5), with sufficient mRNA in both specimens, for the 30 patients (15 in each treatment group), is given in Between treatments, FC ratios from Q-PCR of the 16 genes as specified in A significant increase in MKi-67 and IGF-1 gene expression (For the eight subjects who were analyzed by both microarray and Q-PCR, we found a high correlation between the methods for the mRNA expression fold changes of the sixteen genes given in
