Fig. 4From: Cerebrospinal fluid metabolic profiling reveals divergent modulation of pentose phosphate pathway by midazolam, propofol and dexmedetomidine in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage: a cohort studyDexmedetomidine altered CSF metabolome in SAH patients. A Overview of CSF metabolome in dexmedetomidine and control groups: 2-dimension score plot. 0, control; 1; dexmedetomidine; Component 1 and 2, dimensions of the PLS-DA model. Pathway analysis (B) and metabolite set enrichment analysis (C) presented the most influenced metabolic pathway by dexmedetomidine. Significantly altered metabolites were listed in (D), left column: control; right column: dexmedetomidine; red arrow: trend; *: statistical significance.
