  1. ConOB_ADOB: control vs AD for OB; ConCER_ADCER: control vs AD for CER; ConOB_ConCER: OB vs CER for control subjects; ADOB_ADCER: OB vs CER for AD patients. Overall P: the P value of the generalized F test. Interaction P: the P value of the interaction term. Re: the results of the protected Fisher's LSD procedure, where "+" indicates a significant difference and "-" implies a non significant difference ; dir: the direction of alteration in gene expression levels; D for decrease, I for increase and N for no change in AD when comparing control vs AD, or in OB when comparing CER vs OB; fold: fold change of each pairwise comparison calculated from the inverse transformed log2 based data. The fold change of LOC91614 gene expression between AD and control in OB was calculated as: 2(7.58+7.59+8.21)/3/2(7.02+6.61+6.58)/3 = 2.08. The fold changes in other situations were calculated in a similar way. Similar notations were also used in Table 3. See also Figure 1.
