Evaluation of Metabolic Defects in Fatty Acid Oxidation Using Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Loaded with Deuterium-Labeled Fatty Acids

Figure 6

Correlation between the ratios of d₁-C2/d₃₁-C16 and the diagnostic ratios. Correlations between d₁-C₂/d₃₁-C16 and d₂₇-C14/d₃₁-C16 (a) and between d₁-C₂/d₃₁-C16 and d₂₃-C12/d₃₁-C16 (b) in CPT-II deficiency. Correlations between d₁-C2/d₃₁-C16 and d₂₇-C14/d₃₁-C16 (c) and between d₁-C2/d₃₁-C16 and d₂₃-C12/d₂₇-C14 (d) in VLCAD deficiency. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and values are indicated.
