Fig. 5: Differences in metabolism of lysophospholipids, plasmalogens, and lysoplasmalogens between control subjects and COVID-19 patients.

Red and green cells indicate p ≤ 0.05 (red indicates the fold-change values are significantly higher for that comparison; green values significantly lower). Light red and light green shaded cells indicate 0.05 < p < 0.10 (light red indicates the fold-change values trend higher for that comparison; light green values trend lower). Note that most metabolites considerably reduced in COVID-19 patients with a sex association. These metabolites are lower in male patients than in female patients.
