Figure 1

Characteristics of amino acid profile in normal and pancreatic cancer tissues. (a) Scheme of sample analysis. (b) Radar charts of amino acid concentration ratios in normal tissues, including liver, duodenum, colon, and pancreas. Data represent median of amino acid concentration ratios in each tissue type. (c) Ratio of amino acid concentrations in normal tissues and PDAC. Values are median + quartile range. *, **, ***, ****: P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001 (Steel comparison test, versus normal pancreas). (d) Differences in amino acid concentrations between normal and diseased pancreatic tissues. *, **, ***, ****: P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001.
