Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Based Plasma Metabolomics Study of the Effects of Moxibustion with Seed-Sized Moxa Cone on Hyperlipidemia

<div>Fold change (FC) of differential metabolites. (a) Change in metabolite levels in the HLP vs HC groups and the BMT vs AMT groups, and linear regression analysis of FC data between the HLP vs HC groups and the BMT vs AMT groups. (b) The black dots denote log<sub>2</sub> FC of differential metabolites obtained from HLP vs HC (<i>X</i>-axis) and BMT vs AMT (<i>Y</i>-axis). (c) Correlation between the FC of metabolites and the lowering effect of TC and TG in each patient. The <i>X</i>-axis is the FC of TC or TG concentration detected using the XL-640 automatic analyzer. The <i>Y</i>-axis is the metabolite changes detected by LC-MS. Each dot is the data from a single patient. R is the correlation coefficient.</div>
