Note. We calculated the fold increase in expression for the NAT primers by treating NAT as the treatment and housekeeping gene as the control and compared to CAB treatment (). For the CAB primers we used CAB as the treatment and housekeeping gene as the control and compared to NAT treatment (). Highlight in bold (cab-h1), italic (cab-h8), and bold italic (nat-h1) indicates that fold difference of expression was calculated based on individual housekeeping gene. Mean fold was calculated from three housekeeping genes.
