Metabolomic Evaluation of Chronic Periodontal Disease in Older Adults

Figure 1

Effect of chronic periodontal disease on the distribution of VIP scores after the metabolome of inflammatory exudate present in the crevicular fluid of old adults patients with periodontal disease. Separation of periodontitis (1-red) and healthy (2-green) groups according to metabolite profile. Numbers 1 and 2 represent the healthy and periodontitis groups, respectively. The concentration of metabolites is represented by the color gradient between green (less concentrated) and red (more concentrated). To the left of the table are the metabolite IDs, identified in Table 3.
