Correlation of mRNA expression with age over Development and Aging intervals and significance of difference between intervals.

The PUFA preferences indicates the preferred substrate for the enzyme, “none” indicates that the enzyme is a significant part of both metabolic pathways. Gene expression patterns are determined from Figure 1. Negative r-values indicate the gene expression level decreases as age increases. A t-test was used to determine if the expression levels for Development were significantly different from Aging. Significant (p<0.05) p-values are bolded. Development: n = 87, Aging: n = 144.
