ABSTRACT: Background
This study sought to analyze non-targeted plasma metabolites in patients with atherosclerosis (AS).Methods
The plasma of patients with AS (the patient group) and the plasma of age-matched and gender-matched healthy individuals (the control group) at the Taihe Hospital was collected. One hundred patients were included in the study (60 in the patient group and 40 in the control group). Fasting venous plasma was collected in the morning. The metabolites in the plasma were examined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). An unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to observe the overall distribution of each sample and the stability of the analysis process. Next, a supervised partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and an
