A, B Principal component analysis (PCA) and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient of RNA sequencing data from the caput, corpus, and cauda epididymis of control and SD-treated rats, with 3 replicates per group. C Volcano plots showing downregulated and upregulated expressed genes in the caput, corpus, and cauda epididymis of SD-treated rats compared to controls (3 replicates per group).
