Differential expression values and associated significance are shown for bone formation-associated gene expression. Each gene is listed by common name, description and expression value (±SEM) as a percentage of respective control for the following treatment groups: 1-week alcohol group, and 4-week alcohol group. Statistical comparisons were performed by Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney nonparametric analysis with the Benjamini and Hochberg false discovery rate multiple testing correction
