Only identified proteins are shown. Accession number: international database of the name and ID number of protein. Fold change: average density of the specific protein in males compared to females. Mowse score: measures reliability of the protein identification; greater than 100 ensures higher reliability that the protein identified is correct. Observed pI/Mr: isoelectric point and molecular weight of the protein. Ms/Ms: number of peptides sequenced after digestion. Total sequence coverage: percentage of the peptide sequenced.
