The IPA core analysis of the molecular targets of TQ involved in atherosclerosis revealed that 27 molecules (ACE, CA1, CA12, CA13, CA14, CA2, CA5B, CA6, CA7, CA9, CNR1, CYP2C19, IL6, IMPDH2, MTNR1A, MTNR1B, NOS3, NR3C1, NR3C2, PDE7A, PGR, PPARA, PPARG, PTGS2, SOAT1, TLR9, XIAP) were involved in the regulation of atherosclerosis (Supplementary Figure S1). This evidence concerns the gene PPARA and atherosclerosis.
