Spearman's rho (rs) of miRNA relative expression levels vs. cellular oxidative stress genes, hormones activity, and mood score, 2-tailed significance (P), and number of subjects are presented. Correlations observed included hormonal markers and mood score frequency based on expression profiles of cellular oxidative stress genes. Nitric oxide (NO); endothelial nitric oxide synthase (iNOS); superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD2); catalase enzyme (CAT); total mood score (TMscore); Profile of mood states (POMS).
