Modulation of the Chlamydia trachomatis In vitro transcriptome response by the sex hormones estradiol and progesterone

Table 3 Categorisation of the up- and down-regulated genes into pathways, as per KEGG.

	Total	Up-regulated		Down-regulated
		Estradiol	Progesterone	Estradiol	Progesterone
Energy metabolism	14	3	4	6	4
Carbohydrate metabolism	23	2	9	1	-
Lipid metabolism	27	1	2	7	8
Nucleotide metabolism	29	-	1	16	3
Amino acid metabolism	30	3	8	3	3
Metabolism of other amino acids	4	-	-	-	-
Metabolism of cofactors and vitamins	33	-	1	6	3
Glycan biosynthesis and metabolism	16	2	6	1	2
Biosynthesis of secondary metabolism	15	1	1	3	4
