The yields were calculated as g liberated of glucose and xylose, respectively, per kg of dry weight of non-pretreated wheat straw (mDM before pretreatment), w/w) as described previously [ 17].
Good's coverage was calculated as G = 1−n/N, where n is the number of singleton phylotypes and N is the total number of sequences in the sample.
The yield of enzymatic hydrolysis was calculated as (g) produced glucose by hydrolysis/(g) glucan in the biomass/1.111∗100.
Total flavonoid content was calculated as mg of rutin equivalent per g of dried extract or fraction.
Glucose from glycogen was quantified using a glucose determination kit (Bioclin) and calculated as mg of glycosyl units/g wet weight of the LV.
Hence, alcohol intake was calculated as grams (g) of ethanol based on the assumption that there are 14 g of ethanol in a 12 oz can of beer, 1 shot or 1.5 oz of liquor or mixed drink, or 5 oz of wine (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011).
14 Average caloric (kcal/day) and protein (g/day) consumption were calculated, as were the amounts of protein ingested per mealtime (g/breakfast, g/lunch, g/dinner).
The Shannon entropy E g of gene g is calculated as E g = Σ1≤ t ≤N- Pt /g log2 Pt /g ).
In a separate analysis, this model with the Hepascore as the outcome measure will be extended to include the quantity of iron removed (calculated as 1 g iron per litre of RBCs removed by erythrocytapheresis) to determine whether there is an association between the change in Hepascore and the reduction in iron level.
Using 166 g as the daily dose of dried herbs for an adult, the relative body surface-area ratio of rats to humans of 7 1, adult human weight of 60 kg and rat weight of 0.2 kg, the daily dose of dried herbs for one rat was calculated as 3.87 g = 166 g*7*(0.2 kg/60 kg), and that of Premarin as 0.015 mg/rat.
