Plasma Metabolomics Analysis Based on GC-MS in Infertile Males with Kidney-Yang Deficiency Syndrome

Figure 6

Detailed construction of the six potential pathways. The map shows connection of the alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, lysine degradation, phenylalanine metabolism, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, D-glutamine, and D-glutamate metabolism in human. The map was generated using the reference map by KEGG (http://www.genome.jp/kegg/). The metabolites marked by blue boxes indicate that the weighted sum of absolute regression coefficients in KYDS group is lower than HC group. The metabolites marked by black boxes indicate the reverse results.
