Article Title: Acquired Obesity Is Associated with Changes in the Serum Lipidomic Profile Independent of Genetic Effects – A Monozygotic Twin Study
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0000218
Figure Lengend Snippet: Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS/DA) of lipidomics profiles for obesity discordant co-twins, utilizing only the 133 identified peaks and two classes (obese and non-obese co-twins) to build the model. Three latent variables were used (Q 2 = 47%). (A) PLS/DA score plot. Genders and twin-pair identifiers are marked for each sample, although this information was not used to build the model. (B) Fold changes for most important variables based on VIP analysis contributing to the PLS/DA model.
Article Snippet: Multivariate analyses were performed using Matlab version 7.2 (Mathworks, Inc.) and the PLS Toolbox version 4.0 Matlab package (Eigenvector Research, Inc.).
