On each SNP site, the χ 2 test for deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, along with expected and observed heterozygosity, polymorphism information content (PIC) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) were calculated using the algorithms provided for by the SAS software 9.4 (ALLELE procedure).
The associations between SNPs and traits were analysed using the general linear model (GLM procedure of SAS software 9.4):
where Y ik is the phenotype, μ was the overall population mean for the trait, G i is the fixed effect of the genotype at the SNP (i = AA, AB, BB) and e ik is the random error. Significance of the SNP and least-squares means were determined using the Student's t-test in GLM procedure.
The association between haplotypes and traits were analysed by a GLM on each haplotype by inserting the number of copies as a fixed: Y ik = μ + H i + e ik , where Y ik is the phenotype, μ is the overall population mean for the trait, H i is the fixed effect of the haplotype [i = 0, individuals with no haplotype; 1, individuals with one copy only (heterozygotes); 2, individuals homozygous for that haplotype] and e ik is the random error. Significance of the haplotype and least-squares means were determined using the Student's t-test in GLM procedure.

All the data were tested for normality using the Shapiro–Wilk test. Growth performance data (gain, gain efficiency, and dietary energetics), DM intake, and carcass data were analyzed as a randomized complete block design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments, with the pen as the experimental unit, using the MIXED procedures of SAS software 9.3 [29 ], with treatment and block as fixed effects and the experimental unit within treatment as a random effect. Visceral organ mass and gene expression data were analyzed as a randomized complete block design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments, using the MIXED procedure of SAS software 9.3 [29 ] with treatment and pen as fixed effects and treatment–pen interaction as random effect. In all cases, contrasts are considered significant when the p value < 0.05.

Statistical Analysis of Oxidative Stress

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Statistical analyses were performed using SAS software 9.1 (SAS Institute, Inc.). Sample size was based on a 0.90 power to detect the same difference that we observed in the least sensitive measure of oxidative stress in our previous study using a two-tailed α-level of 0.05 [18 (link)]. Baseline characteristics with normal distribution were compared between cases and controls using a paired t-test for continuous variables and Chi-square/Fisher exact test for categorical variables. Nonparametric tests were used for variables with skewed distribution. Mean (and median, where appropriate) levels of oxidative stress and ACE markers in cases and controls were compared using t-test for normally distributed variables and NPAR1WAY procedure (SAS software 9.1) for variables with skewed distribution. All variables significant on univariate analysis were entered into multiple logistic regression models to calculate adjusted odds ratios.

Survival Analysis of Biomarkers in Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For clinical data, as well as our in silico data analysis, patients’ overall survival was used as the endpoint for survival analysis. A log-rank test was applied to determine the significance of survival differences between subgroups. The cut-off points that we found for CA and HIF1-α were those which maximized survival differences between high- and low-risk subgroups. The range of CA value was 4.85–71.31 and 23 was used as the cut-off point as it resulted in the minimization of the log-rank p-value. The test of group mean differences shown in box-whisker plots is based on the Mann–Whitney U test. In cases with more than two groups, the differences were evaluated by the Kruskal–Wallis test. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS software 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Details of the survival model used in our in silico analysis are included in the Supplementary Materials.

Adducts and LINE-1 Methylation Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used the χ2 test for categorical variables and Student’s t-test for continuous variables to assess the difference in selected characteristics between exposure groups (detectable vs undetectable adducts). We calculated the Spearman rank correlation coefficients (rs) to determine the correlation of adducts and plasma LINE-1 methylation. All analyses were performed with SAS software 9.4 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC).

The hydrophilic metabolites from the cells were extracted by modifying a previously described (Kim et al. 2017 (link)). The sample was transferred into auto-sampler vials and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS, a GCMS-QP2010 Ultra system, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). GC-MS analysis was performed as previously described (Song et al. 2021 (link)). Pearson's correlation analysis was carried out using SAS software 9.4 (SAS Institute, San Diego, CA, USA) and then visualized with Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (HCA) using Multi-Experiment Viewer version 4.9.0 (MeV; https://webmev.tm4.org).

The experiment followed a completely randomized design. Data obtained for fatty acid parameters were analyzed using GLM procedures of SAS software (9.4) (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Means were compared using the Tukey’s Honest Significant Difference (HSD) test and the level of significance was set at p < 0.05. The meat quality data were analyzed using a factorial design 4 × 3 (diets × postmortem aging periods) employed for data (pH, drip loss, cooking loss, color and shear force values). Univariate statistical analysis of NMR data was performed using GraphPad Prism version 5.0. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to evaluate the significance level of differences between metabolites from different meat groups. Statistical differences were considered significant at a level of p ≤ 0.05. Tukey’s multiple comparison test was used to study the statistical difference between means of four meat groups. The ASCII formatted files were imported to SIMCA-P+ version 13.0 32-bits (Umetrics AB, Umeå, Sweden) and subjected to multivariate data analysis (MvDA). The data was Pareto scaled. In Pareto scaling, the square root is used as a scaling factor and each variable is divided by the square root of standard deviation [37 ]. Usually, Pareto scaling is applied to data with a large dynamic range [38 (link)].

Bland-Altman Plot for Biometric Agreement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Bland–Altman plot was used as it compares two measurements of the same variable. The X-axis represents the mean of two measurements, and the Y-axis represents the difference between the two measurements [25 (link)]. Plotting difference versus mean aids in discovery of possible relationships between measurement inaccuracy and real value. Left and right eyes were grouped separately. Agreement between biometrics was examined by eye (left vs. right) using Bland–Altman plots with 2 (red) and 3 (green) standard deviation reference bounds using SAS Software 9.4 (Cary, NC, USA). If points are scattered above and below zero (mean black line) then there is no persistent bias toward one imaging modality over the other. In contrast, if values generally increase or decrease then there is evidence that the measures are not concordant. Bland–Altman analyses provide evidence for agreement and thus cannot be used to determine if one method is better than another (i.e., because there is no gold standard).

Fluid Overload and Acute Kidney Injury Outcomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Descriptive statistics for continuous variables were summarized as mean and standard deviation or median and inter quartile range when determined skewed by a Shapiro-Wilks test. Categorical variables were summarized as counts and percentages. Summary statistics are presented in tabular form. Differences in ordinal outcome such as length of stay and PRISM-III score were compared with Unpaired T-Tests or Wilcoxon Rank Sum tests, and dichotomous outcomes by Chi-Squared or Fisher’s Exact tests. Logistic regression models assessed bivariate associations between dichotomous outcomes and fluid overload as a continuous variable, Spearman’s correlation assessed bivariate associations between ordinal variables. Multiple general linear regression models were used to derive estimated associations between AKI, FO and the outcomes of duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay (hospital and ICU). The regression models incorporated the model terms of age, fluid overload, AKI, and PRISM-III scores – to a priori limit the effects of collinearity but also to use practical, highest relevance of importance. Pairwise differences between the four FO/AKI phenotypes were analyzed yielding model estimated means. Statistical significance level was set at alpha < 0.05 level. The data analysis was performed using SAS software 9.4, Cary, NC, USA, and JMP. Copyright © 2002–2012 SAS Institute Inc.
