The red dot represents the mean, and the color bar below the plot indicates the sign of the association, with red indicating negative correlation and green positive correlation. (A) Associations of the lipidome with SA in patients with microvascular complications; (B) associations of the lipidome with SA in patients without microvascular complications; (C) associations of the lipidome with IMT in patients with microvascular complications; (D) associations of the lipidome with IMT in patients without microvascular complications. ChoE, cholesterol ester; DG, diglyceride; LPC, lysophosphatidylcholine; PC, phosphatidylcholine; PC(O), alkyl-ether-phosphatidylcholine; PC(P), alkenyl-ether-phosphatidylcholine (plasmalogen); PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; SM, sphingomyelin; TG, triglyceride.
