Leading-edge proteins contributing to the strongest negatively and positively enriched mitochondrial pathways in old male HFpEF cardiomyocyte mitochondria. Pre-ranked GSEA of MitoCarta 3.0 pathways was performed comparing old male HFD+L-NAME-treated mice with age-matched RD controls. The four pathways with the most negative normalized enrichment scores (NES) and the three pathways with the most positive NES were selected for presentation. The leading-edge protein subset that contributes most to the enrichment score for each pathway is shown. Negative NES indicates relative suppression in HFpEF, whereas positive NES indicates relative enrichment in HFpEF. FDR-adjusted P values are provided for each pathway.
