DEPs between samples at 7 d and 0 d, and 7 d and 3.5 d were associated with Malaria (map05144; downregulated D4QBB4 and P01966), Pyruvate metabolism (map00620; downregulated Q3ZC87, Q3T145, and A0A3Q1M5R4), Glucagon signaling pathway (map04922) and Biosynthesis of amino acids (map01230; A6QLL8, Q3ZC87, F1N2F2, A0A3S5ZPB0, P33097, B3IVN4, and G5E5C8; Fig 4B and 4C, and S3 Table). Here, GCG is linked to malaria.
