Monitoring the Modifications of the Vitreous Humor Metabolite Profile after Death: An Animal Model

Figure 3

Loading S-plot of OPLS applied to the 1H NMR spectral data of VH samples withdrawn at different times after death (0 and 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours); -axis = loadings magnitude and -axis = loadings reliability. Assignments of major contributions are given. 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OH-But), lactate (Lac), alanine (Ala), acetate (Ace), glutathione in its reduced and oxidized forms (GSH/GSSG), creatine (Crt), choline/phosphocholine (Cho), glucose (Gluc), myo-inositol (MI), ascorbate (Asc), and hypoxanthine (Hpx).
