Analysis of Metabolite and Lipid Association Networks Reveals Molecular Mechanisms Associated with 3-Month Mortality and Poor Functional Outcomes in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke after Thrombolytic Treatment with Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator.

ABSTRACT: Here, we present an integrated multivariate, univariate, network reconstruction and differential analysis of metabolite-metabolite and metabolite-lipid association networks built from an array of 18 serum metabolites and 110 lipids identified and quantified through nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in a cohort of 248 patients, of which 22 died and 82 developed a poor functional outcome within 3 months from acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. We explored differences in metabolite and lipid connectivity of patients who did not develop a poor outcome and who survived the ischemic stroke from the related opposite conditions. We report statistically significant differences in the connectivity patterns of both low- and high-molecul
