Fig. 6: Metabolomic Analysis of plasma samples.

a, b Heatmap of metabolites with differential abundance between HTH and NC groups. c Amino acids. d Schematic diagram of the metabolic pathway to obesity induced by a high-fat diet based on serum and liver metabolites analysis. The metabolites analyzed by LC-MS and GC-MS are shown in color; red represents increased metabolites, green represents decreased metabolites, yellow represents no change, and the open circles represent no detected metabolites. Statistical significance was evaluated using p-values adjusted for multiple comparisons with the FDR method.
