Table 4 Correlations between Hbb-related transcripts, plasma-IGF-I, glucose and HOMA-IR in running and sedentary mice.

From: Running in mice increases the expression of brain hemoglobin-related genes interacting with the GH/IGF-1 system

  1. The Spearman correlations are between the values for all values of all brain regions versus the levels of each transcript. Abbreviations are as in Table 1. and HOMA-IR is the homeostatic model of assessment of insulin resistance. N represents the pooled individual samples with successful analysis for all three brain regions. The reasons for not reaching N = 36 (i.e. missing numbers) are given in Tables 2, 3.
