Fig. 2

Heatmap visualization of bioactive lipids in plasma of ME/CFS patients and controls. The heatmaps represent the average of relative concentrations to male controls of oxylipins (left) and ethanolamides (right) in each group. Oxylipins are classified based on which fatty acid they are derived, arachidonic acid (AA) or linoleic acid (LA) and which pathway they derived from, lipoxygenase pathway (LOX pathway) or cytochrome P450 pathway (CYP pathway). Black asterisks show significant differences between male and female ME/CFS patients and controls (p < 0.05) and red asterisks show significant differences between males and females within the same diagnosis status (p < 0.05)
