Specific expressed proteins for LC patients allocated to the KEGG pathway of map 00290 (a) and map 00770 (b). Proteins specific expressed for LC patients were highlighted. As the patients’ condition worse, the number of specific enzymes from the two metabolic pathways were remarkably increased, and the metabolic pathways were enhanced. In patient CP, the specific enzymes from map 00290 and map 00770 were almost covered the whole metabolic pathway
