The values reported in this table are the sum of the E1 and E2 forms of each metabolite [for example, 2-OHE1(E2)], the sum of the thiol conjugates of 2-OHE1(E2), the sum of the thiol conjugates of 4-OHE1(E2), and the sum of the E1 and E2 forms of each depurinating DNA adduct.
p-value for comparing control vs Pca by using the Mann-Whitney test.
