Fig. 2.

Functional network of protein-protein interaction generated using the STRING database. Nodes represent the differentially acetylated platelet proteins and the colours indicate different acetylation levels, in red the acetylation level is higher in controls than in diabetes, in green the acetylation is higher in diabetes than in controls (A). The highest scoring sub-network extracted from the global one shows the interconnection of proteins involved in platelet activation and degranulation (B).
