Change in protein abundances between study groups
The change in protein abundance from baseline to 9 weeks was significantly different between the study groups for 63 proteins/protein families. In all, 58 proteins/protein families altered differently between the EE + DNG and EV + DNG groups, 61 between EE + DNG and DNG only and 17 between EV + DNG and DNG only. All significantly altered proteins between the groups are listed in Proteins with significantly differing alterations between study groups during the 9-week trial.Proteins with a statistically different change between the groups after the Kruskal–Wallis test and Benjamini–Hochberg method (in order of significance). The Mann–Whitney Statistically significant change within the group.A: ethinylestradiol (EE) + dienogest (DNG) versus estradiol valerate (EV) + DNG. B: EE + DNG versus DNG. C: EV + DNG versus DNG.
