Supplementation of Micronutrient Selenium in Metabolic Diseases: Its Role as an Antioxidant

Figure 1

Venn diagram of interacting genes among various metabolic disorders. Disease-related genes were retrieved from the NCBI database, and Venn diagram was created to find any common gene involved in different metabolic diseases. 213 genes for hyperglycaemia (shown in blue circle), 101 genes for hyperlipidemia (shown in red circle), and 5 genes for hyperphenylalaninemia (shown in green circle) were collected. Hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia share 32 common disease-related genes, while there is only one gene overlap between the groups of hyperglycaemia and hyperphenylalaninemia. No common gene is observed for the three diseases. Detail lists of genes were shown in Table S1.
