Network analysis identifies metabolites and protein clusters of functional importance in Hypertensive Patients with Phlegm-Dampness Syndrome. The reconstructed network contains, Complement C3, Complement C4a/C4b, A2M, SERPINF1 (yellow) and PC (purple). Edges (lines and arrows between nodes) represent direct (solid lines) and indirect (dashed lines) interactions between molecules as supported by information in the Ingenuity knowledge base. Node shapes represent functional classes of gene products, rectangles with solid lines for cytokines, rectangles with dotted lines for growth factors, triangles for phosphatases, concentric circles for groups or complexes, diamonds for enzymes, and ovals for transcriptional regulators or modulators
