Fig 3. Correlation of fatty acids with NASH parameters.

Fig 3

(A) Correlation of pentadecanoic (15:0), heptadecanoic (17:0) acid and palmitelaidic (16:1n7t) with NAFLD activity scores (NAS), (B) correlation of pentadecanoic (15:0), heptadecanoic (17:0) acid and palmitelaidic (16:1n7t) with hepatocyte ballooning scores, (C) correlation of vaccenic acid (18:1n7c) with liver inflammation scores, and (D) correlation of vaccenic acid (18:1n7c) with fibrosis scores. Fatty acid levels are presented as a percentage of the phospholipid fraction. Statistical significance was done using ANOVA test and then pairwise comparison using Tukey’s test was performed. Spearman correlation was calculated using GraphPad Prism 6 and Bonferroni correction was used to select significant correlations.
