Table 2 Selection of immunological pathways that are related to the genes with a different expression in pregnant and non-pregnant females in both BALB/c and B6 mice in the proximal colon (n = 5), analyzed with Ingenuity pathways analysis.

  1. The p-value is a measure of the likelihood that the association between the set of genes altered by pregnancy in this experiment and the given pathways is due to random chance. A positive z-score indicates a predicted activation, and a negative z-score indicates a predicted inactivation of the enriched pathway. NaN indicates a z-score which cannot be calculated for the Ingenuity canonical pathway. Significant differences are highlighted in bold.
