FIGURE 4.

Chart A shows a PLS-DA plot with two component axes comparing HC and OPA groups, with distinct clustering. Chart B is a volcano plot depicting Log2FC against negative Log10 p-values, highlighting significant up (red) and down (blue) regulated points. Chart C is a pie chart detailing the composition of various compounds, with lipids being the most abundant at 24.72%. Chart D displays a VIP score plot with names of compounds, indicating significance and direction of changes (up in red, down in blue) in HC versus PA groups.

Metabolomic analysis reveals metabolic alterations in gut metabolic profiles in children with PA. (A) Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). (B) Volcano plots of the differential metabolites between HC and PA groups. (C) The proportion of differential gut metabolites categories. (D) Variable importance in projection (VIP) scores of the top 20 differential gut metabolites. n = 10.
