Figure 3. Volcano plot and GO analysis.
(Left) Volcano plot filtering revealed a greater number of genes that were downregulated (blue) than upregulated (red) in the oligoasthenospermia model as compared to control rats, whereas more genes were upregulated than downregulated in QLP-treated as compared to model rats. (Right) GO analysis revealed the top five biological processes as protein phosphorylation; apoptosis; transcription, DNA-templated; spermatogenesis; and positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter.
