Figure 5. Primary protein networks obtained through ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) of the fold change of plasma markers in the identified sub groups versus the control group (25th–75th percentile). (A) Network 1 depicting pathways related to cardiovascular disease (<25th percentile) and (B) Network 2 depicting pathways related to inflammatory response (>75th percentile). Red: up-regulation; Green: down-regulation.
