Acylcarnitine Profiles in Plasma and Tissues of Hyperglycemic NZO Mice Correlate with Metabolite Changes of Human Diabetes

Figure 3

PCA to characterize plasma- and tissue-specific metabolite profiles in 12 male and 11 female NZO mice. (a) Plasma; (b) adipose tissue; (c) liver; (d) muscle; (e) heart; (f) kidney. PCAs comprise data of 43 ACs and 35 AAs. Groups are coloured according to female (F), male (M), and male diabetic (Md) mice to examine differences and resemblances among plasma and tissue metabolite profiles. Gender is marked with F (female) and M (male).
