F=female; hK=kallikrein protein; M=male; SC=stratum corneum.
Kallikrein concentrations are in ng/mg total protein. The percentages represent the fraction of each trypsin-like hK within the total amount of trypsin-like hKs.
#Two-way ANOVA displayed significant differences between genders for hK6, hK10, and hK14 (P<0.05 for each). The post hoc test (Bonferroni method to reflect multiple comparisons) showed significant differences (P<0.05 for each) as follows: * 1, F-axilla versus F-face for hK8; * 2F-axilla versus M-axilla for hK11; * 3M-axilla versus M-face and F axilla for hK5; * 4M-face versus M-abdomen for hK6, hK13, and hK14; * 5face versus axilla and abdomen for F-hK10 and M-hK6; * 6F-axilla versus F-face, F-abdomen, and M-axilla for the total concentration of trypsin-like hKs.
##One-way ANOVA revealed significantly higher hK8 levels compared with the other trypsin-like hKs (P<0.05 for each), except in the axilla of females.
