Table 3. Top 20 enriched biological pathways.

Ranking of the enriched biological pathways is based on NES and FDR value. The enriched biological pathways (KEGG) by the enrichment analysis were found under statistically significant levels (FDR ¡ 0.05) except those indicated with asterisk (*: 0.05 < P < 0.13; 0.12 < FDR < 0.21).
