Urinary metabolic profiles during Helicobacter pylori eradication in chronic gastritis

Figure 5 Metabolites involved in Helicobacter pylori elimination. A: Peak intensity of the significant urinary metabolites associated with chronic gastritis management during Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) elimination. Data presented as the mean ± SD (n = 20). P < 0.05 was considered to represent significance. Health group vs H. pylori-positive [HP(+)] group: ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01, ^cP < 0.001, and ^dP < 0.0001; HP(+) group vs H. pylori-negative group: ^eP < 0.05, ^fP < 0.01, and ^gP < 0.0001; B: Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of seven identified biomarkers. Helicobacter pylori-positive; HP(−): Helicobacter pylori-negative.
