2-sided P values were derived from the mixed models that test PEITC treatment effect on the change of urinary levels of biomarkers within each specific GST genotypes before and after PEITC intake.

2-sided P values were derived from the mixed models that test the interaction term between PEITC intake and GST genotype on the levels of urinary biomarkers.
