  1. Twenty-two KEGG pathways were identified as being altered in a concentration-dependent manner by exposure to NAs (low = 10 mg/l, mid = 100 mg/l, high = 1000 mg/l). The perturbation degree was determined as the average percentage edge change per gene for all genes involved in a particular pathway, and concentration-dependence was defined as high > mid and high > low in perturbation degree. Note that perturbation degrees are expressed in decimals instead of percentages.
