Distribution of differentially expressed proteins (DEP) in bilateral varicocele group (a) Venn Diagram of DEP. Eight proteins are uniquely expressed in the fertile control group, 7 proteins are uniquely expressed in bilateral varicocele group while 58 proteins are commonly expressed in both groups (b) Protein abundance of DEP that are overexpressed, underexpressed or uniquely expressed either in the fertile control versus bilateral varicocele group (c) Comparison of high, medium, low or very low abundance of DEP in fertile control and bilateral varicocele group based on the normalized spectral counts obtained from the proteomic profile and Gene Ontology annotations for DEP for (d) Location (e) Biological processes and (f) Molecular functional processes.
