The cluster heat map and metabolic pathway analysis (/group). (a) Cluster heat map for the NC group (green), the DM group (red), and the INU group (blue). (b) The metabolic pathway analysis of plasma metabolites in the NC and DM groups. (A) Glycerophospholipid metabolism, (B) arachidonic acid metabolism, (C) tryptophan metabolism, (D) pyrimidine metabolism, (E) retinol metabolism, (F) pentose and glucuronate interconversions, (G) galactose metabolism, (H) primary bile acid biosynthesis, (I) vitamin B6 metabolism, and (J) linoleic acid metabolism. (c) The metabolic pathway analysis of plasma metabolites in the DM and INU groups. (A) Arachidonic acid metabolism, (B) glycerophospholipid metabolism, (C) vitamin B6 metabolism, (D) pentose and glucuronate interconversions, (E) terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, and (F) valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis.
