In order to examine the DNA methylation state of various regions of individual genes during the 8 weeks intervention we selected the following genes CXCL12, SCRIB, PDGFRL, FERMT3, ICAM1 and VCAM1. These genes are involved in pathways related to cardiovascular diseases and have been shown to be differentially expressed during the 8 weeks MOF intake. Here, PDGFRL is linked to cardiovascular disorder.
