Figure 1From: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase gene expressions are significantly correlated in human colorectal cancerRepresentative correlations between PPARγ and SSAT mRNA expression in colorectal tissue. A. PPARγ mRNA expression correlates with that of SSAT mRNA levels in the normal mucosa samples of 40 patients (r = 0.73, p < 0.0001; Spearman correlation coefficient). B. PPARγ mRNA expression correlates with that of SSAT mRNA levels in the tumour tissue samples of 40 patients (r = 0.65, p < 0.0001, Spearman correlation coefficient). The relative mRNA levels are expressed as target gene/β-actin ratio.Back to article page
