Expression and clinical significance of short-chain fatty acids in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy

Figure 3 Cord blood short-chain fatty acids' correlation with short-chain fatty acids found in maternal serum. A: Stacked bar chart of the percentage of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in maternal serum and cord blood: The proportion of isobutyric acid and caproic acid in maternal serum’s total SCFAs was extremely low, while, in the cord blood SCFAs, it was significantly higher; B: Linear regression scatter plots of SCFAs in the two groups of subjects: A significant positive correlation existed between the total SCFAs in maternal serum and cord blood in both the subject groups; C: Linear regression scatter plot of SCFAs in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy patients: There was a significant positive correlation between total SCFAs in the maternal serum and cord blood; D: Linear regression scatter plot of SCFAs in normal pregnant group: A strong positive correlation between the total SCFAs found in the maternal serum and cord blood. SCFAs: Short-chain fatty acids.
