High-Density Lipoproteins-Associated Proteins and Subspecies Related to Arterial Stiffness in Young Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Figure 6

Comigration patterns of the proteins residing on the same subspecies with at least two PWV-correlated proteins in the lean (a, c, e) and the T2D (b, d, f) groups. Data are mean normalized peptide counts. Colors of distribution patterns are matched to the colors of node outlines. (a-b) Control: comigration pattern of fibrinogen α/β/ϒ chains (on the same particle) shows no difference between lean and T2D. (c-d) Cluster 1: apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein A-II, Ig gamma-1 chain C region, complement C3, and complement C1s subcomponent. (e-f) Cluster 2: hemopexin, plasminogen, apolipoprotein H, complement C9, gelsolin, and alpha-2-HS glycoprotein.
