Variability in the measured parameters in one female patient with sporadic pseudo bulbar paresis, the samples were collected over 11 months with one time-point in duplicate.
<p>Variability in the measured parameters in one female patient with sporadic pseudo bulbar paresis, the samples were collected over 11 months with one time-point in duplicate.</p
Female subjects Average values ± standard deviation for parameters measured for female controls and ALS patients, fold change (ALS/controls), and p-values for females.

OPLS model predicting survival from the time of sampling for diet-matched ALS cases (p = 0.003).
<p>A. Survival predicted by model plotted against time of survival from sampling. B. Long survival from sampling correlated with higher levels of LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, coenzyme Q, and VLDL cholesterol.</p
Male subjects Average values ± standard deviation for parameters measured for male controls, ALS patients, fold change (ALS/controls), and p-values for males.
<p>Male subjects Average values ± standard deviation for parameters measured for male controls, ALS patients, fold change (ALS/controls), and p-values for males.</p
Correlation to survival Pearson's correlation for the parameters plotted against survival from time of sampling for all subjects and Spearman's correlation for the parameters plotted against survival from time of sampling for females and males.

Multivariate analysis using PCA of the parameters in tables 1 and 2 (with BMI and age excluded) using two significant principal components based on eigenvalue criteria (>2).
<p>A. Females with ALS overlapped with female controls in the measured parameters.
