Involvement of Cholesterol Metabolic Pathways in Recovery from Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Figure 2

Proteomic clustering reveals three distinct groups. (a) Principal component analysis (PCA) of the three groups: normal control group (N), 1 day postnoise exposure group (NE1), and 7 days postnoise exposure group (NE7). (b) Correlation analysis between control and noise exposure pig cochleae. (c) Volcano analysis showing upregulated (red) and downregulated (green) proteins from NE1 vs. Ctrl (left), NE7 vs. Ctrl (middle), and NE1 vs. N7 (right). (d) Heat map analysis showing upregulated (red) and downregulated (green) proteins from NE1 vs. Ctrl (left), NE7 vs. Ctrl (middle), and NE1 vs. NE7 (right).
