Figure 2 PCA is an unsupervised multidimensional statistical analysis method, which can explain the overall metabolic differences between groups and the variability within each group.
Abbreviations: CON, control; DG, diterpene ginkgolide; PCA, principal component analysis.

Figure 3 PLS-DA is a supervised analysis method. In the supervised PLS-DA, R2Y and Q2 are the two important parameters. Q2 >0.5 indicates that the model performs well in discriminant analysis.
Abbreviations: CON, control; DG, diterpene ginkgolide; PLS-DA, partial least squares-discriminant analysis; VLX, venlafaxine.

Figure 7 (A) The network involved 12 metabolites, including citric acid, cholesterol, 3-aminoisobutyric acid, methionine, asparagine, malonic acid, alanine, octanal, ethanolamine, N-acetyl-l-aspartic acid, methylmalonic acid and proline. Red indicates an increase in the metabolite, while blue indicates a decrease. Other metabolites are uncolored. (B) The relationship of metabolites in the network of venlafaxine.
