  1. •Indicates lipids.
  2. *Progesterone is likely not differentially expressed by subspecies. Thirteen healthy animals were included in this comparison: seven SBR and six EBR. Five out of six EBR were females, which presumably drove the differential expression of progesterone in this comparison.
