Fig. 6From: Disordered GPR43/NLRP3 expression in peripheral leukocytes of patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with intestinal short chain fatty acids levelsThe interaction of leukocyte GPR43 and NLRP3 was involved in AF development. A Mediation analysis of the association between fecal acetic acid, GPR43–NLRP3 score, and AF. B Mediation analysis of the association between GPR43–NLRP3 score, LAD, and AF. C Mediation analysis of the association between butyric acid, NLRP3 and AF. Path coefficients are denoted beside each path. IDE indirect effect, VAF variance accounted for score; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0 .001Back to article page
