: number of samples; GM [CP]: geometric mean of cycling point; AM [CP]: arithmetic mean of CP; min [CP] and max [CP]: extreme values of CP; SD [±CP]: standard deviation of the CP; CV [%CP]: coefficient of variation expressed as a percentage on the CP values; min [x-fold] and max [x-fold]: extreme values of expression levels expressed as absolute x-fold over or under coefficient; SD [±x-fold]: standard deviation of the absolute regulation coefficients.
