  • kb = kilobases; SD = standard deviation; TRF = terminal restriction fragments.

  • * p < 0.001. By analysis of covariance, controlled for age (p = 0.18), sex (p = 0.53), group × sex (p = 0.95), group × age (p = 0.012), group × sex × age (p = 0.61). Means with different letters are significantly different (according to Tukeyí s multiple comparison procedure).
