From: Lipidomic alterations in human saliva from cystic fibrosis patients
Distribution of lipid levels in saliva from CF patients. Scatter plots and volcano plots are reported to represent the salivary abundance of: (A) ceramides, hexosylceramides, diacylglycerols; (B) triacylglycerols lysophosphatidylcholine, cholesterol esters and acylcarnitines. The significantly different lipids are highlighted in volcano plots. Plots represents the lipid concentrations (means ± SD). The significant difference was evaluated performing two-tailed unpaired parametric t-test with Welch correction in normally distributed datasets and Mann Whitney test in not-normally distributed datasets. Two-stage linear step-up procedure of Benjamini, Krieger and Yekutieli was performed as False Discovery Rate approach (Q = 1%). The normal distribution was verified according to D'Agostino and Pearson test.
