Effect of ANT on the protein expression profile in the serum of db/db mice. (A) The heatmap of the expression of serum proteins in the CT, DKD, and ANT groups. The expression of each protein was normalized. Volcano plots showing the differentially expressed proteins between the DKD vs. CT (B) and ANT vs. DKD (C) groups. (D) Serum proteomic profiles after STEM analysis. STEM analysis was applied to obtain the protein expression profiles across the CT, DKD, and ANT groups. Profile ID is shown at the top left corner of the profile. Lines in each profile represent the expression pattern of proteins across the three groups (permutation test, P < 0.05). (E) Venn diagram summarizing the differential and overlapping proteins among the DKD vs. CT groups, ANT vs. DKD groups, and STEM_trend (FC > 1.5 or FC < 0.67, unpaired two-sided student’s t-tests, P < 0.05). (F) The heatmap of the expression of ANT serum trend proteins in the three groups. (G) The function analysis of ANT serum trend proteins in Metascape platform (P < 0.01)
