Fig. 3. Analysis on mitochondrial ATP/ADP-Pi exchange, TCA cycle, coenzyme Q biosynthesis, mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (mtFASII), fatty acid oxidation, and cytosolic protein import system.

A) The circular heatmap displays the t-score statistics when comparing viral load versus negative patient samples for nasopharyngeal swab and autopsy samples for specific mitochondrial genes. B) Correlation plots associated with each group are shown for all the samples. Circle size is proportional to the correlation coefficient. Statistical significance determined using a two-tailed Student’s t-test *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
