Figure 2From: Multivariable analysis of host amino acids in plasma and liver during infection of malaria parasite Plasmodium yoeliiAminogram in plasma and liver changes with Plasmodium infection. Alterations of aminogram in plasma (A) and liver (B) during Plasmodium infection are shown. The blue- and yellow-coloured cells represent z scores calculated for each amino acid [(observed mean - normal control mean)/normal control SD] in plasma and liver, respectively. Cluster analyses are applied to amino acids as described in the Methods. The z scores are as follows: yellow, positive changed; blue, negative changed; black, low variation. Coloured bars represent the mice condition and category of amino acids as follows; grey, uninfected mice; orange, P. yoelii-infected mice; light blue, essential amino acid for P. falciparum; pink, essential amino acid for mouse; green, non-essential amino acid for mouse; red, amino acid derivatives, urea, and ammonia.Back to article page
