a
The value for “the plasma level of miR-145″ is the fold change relative to the level of the housekeeping reference miR-16. A log of the plasma level of miR-145 with the base e is calculated.
b
The level of CTX P1NP in the serum is represented as µg/L. A log of CTX/P1NP concentration with the base e is calculated and used.
