Table A1.

Intergroup comparison: the significance of the synergism and antagonism. Significance of differences of gene expression between assays treated with either BaP only, or with BaP + PCBs in “Time 1” and “Time 2”. The intergroup comparisons were obtained with Kruskal–Wallis test followed up by Dunn’s test. The level of significance is * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001. Genes for which there is no significant difference are indicated in italics. ns: no significant. Genes for which there is no significant difference are indicated in bold.
