Integrative Analysis of Lipid Profiles in Plasma Allows Cardiometabolic Risk Factor Clustering in Children with Metabolically Unhealthy Obesity

Figure 2

Increased fatty acids are associated with obesity and cardiometabolic risk. (a) Heat map of the variables that are significatively different between children with MHO () and MUO (). (b) Venn diagram showing the clustering of statistically increased FAs in the different groups. Mann-Whitney test was performed. AA: arachidonic acid; ALA: α-linoleic acid; GLA: ɣ-linoleic acid; CE: cholesteryl ester; CMR: cardiometabolic risk factors; DGLA: dihomo-ɣ-linoleic acid; DHA: docosahexaenoic acid; EPA: eicosapentaenoic acid; MHO: metabolically healthy obesity; MUO: metabolically unhealthy obesity; NW: normal weight; PL: phospholipid.
