Mitochondrial dysfunction affects hepatic immune and metabolic remodeling in patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure

Figure 7 Correlation plot between the 16 organic acid metabolites and macrophage-derived cytokines/chemokines in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (n = 17). A: Correlation plot between the 16 organic acid metabolites and cytokines/chemokines; B: Linear correlation scatter plot between the organic acid metabolites and cytokines/chemokines (P 0.05). The Spearman test was used to measure the correlations of non-normally distributed variables. IL-1β: Interleukin-1β; IL-10: Interleukin-10; TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-α; TGF-β1: Transforming growth factor. CCL-2: Chemokine C-C motif ligand 2.
