15,01 ± 1,56 p = 0,0007 |
2,04 ± 0,29 p = 0,0144 |
11,26 ± 2,84 p < 0.0001 |

3,79 ± 1,56 p = 0,0468 |
3,93 ± 1,89 p = 0,1044 |
3,73 ± 0,43 p = 0,021 |

1,76 ± 0,48 p = 0,0598 |
1,93 ± 0,60 p = 0,066 |
2,09 ± 0.56 p = 0,0192 |
VEGF R1 | Vascular endothelial growth factor Receptor 1, thought to modulate VEGFR-2 signaling and to act as a dummy/decoy receptor, sequestering VEGF from VEGFR-2 binding |
3,89 ± 0,81 p = 0,0002 |
1,75 ± 0,43 p = 0,0474 |

2,27 ± 0,36 p = 0,0061 |
1,74 ± 0,36 p = 0,0347 |
2,69 ± 1,16 p = 0,1113 |

1,87 ± 0.15 p = 0,0484 |
1,29 ± 0,15 p = 0,3351 |
2,58 ± 1,18 p = 0,1555 |
3,21 ± 0,52 p = 0,0009 |
