Figure 2. Real-time PCR (qPCR) validation of microarray results for selected genes. Quantitative analysis by qPCR of the expression levels of GSTM1 (A), BMP6 (B), and ABCA1 (C) genes in samples from the Adult (n=11) and Elderly (n=9) groups. Data were normalized against GAPDH housekeeping gene. Error bars, SEM. * p < 0.05.
