“+” means an increase.
“−” means a decrease.
“/” means no significant change ( < the cut-off value, VIP < 1 and/or ).
The absolute values of correlation number extracted from the correlation plots of OPLS-DA models. The cut-off values are 0.532 in the coefficient plot of TA versus TR, 0.404 in the coefficient plot of T35 versus T0, and 0.433 in the coefficient plot of TA versus T0 and TR versus T0.
The values were obtained from one-way ANOVA.
