Figure 3From: ProAlgaZyme subfraction improves the lipoprotein profile of hypercholesterolemic hamsters, while inhibiting production of betaine, carnitine, and choline metabolitesCorrelation of the BaP induced plasma metabolomic and lipid profile. Changes among the metabolomic score values ([t1]) of individual hamsters fed a high fat diet and different drinking fluids (water or BaP) are plotted along with the corresponding individual plasma lipid profile scores ([u1]), as determined by the PLS analysis. The coefficient of determination (R2) among [t1] and [u1] that was calculated after linearization of the relationship is indicated. 3a. Relationship between the plasma metabolomic profile and complete lipid profile (R2 = 0.7) 3b. Relationship between the plasma metabolomic profile and plasma HDL-C (R2 = 0.62). Notes: T0, high fat diet and water; T21, high fat diet and BaP for 21 days. N = 8 hamsters per group. Abbreviations: Biologically active fraction of ProAlgaZyme, BaP; high density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C; partial least squares, PLS.Back to article page
