Figure 1: Differentially expressed inflammation- and immune
response-related proteins pre- and post-COVID-19 in ice hockey players.A: Heatmap showing differentially expressed proteins among athletes pre-
and post-COVID-19, as well as post-COVID controls; B: Principal
Component Analysis (PCA) of ice hockey players pre- and post-COVID-19;
C: Scattered boxplot and heatmap of protein CCL11 (***: adjP=0.0035); D:
Volcano plot of differentially expressed proteins measured by OLINK
multiplex assays. Welch 2-sample t-test was used to compare pre- and
post-COVID-19 athlete samples (confidence level 0.95). Correction for
multiple testing done by Benjamini-Hochberg method. Statistically
significant proteins shown in red (adjP <0.05); E, F: Ratio of
significantly different proteins for different immune response and
inflammation process networks to all proteins measured) in pre- (E) and
post-COVID-19 athletes (F). Abbreviations: adjP, adjusted P value; Ctrl,
control group; IH, ice hockey players; NS, non-significant.
