a Plasma cholesterol values measured in control fish (n = 50) and in S. chrysophrii-infected fish with a medium/low (M/L, n = 31) and high (H, n = 16) infection degree. b–d Normalised protein abundance values of apolipoprotein B-100 (b), apolipoprotein H (c) and apolipoprotein A-II (d) measured by proteomics in plasma samples of C fish (n = 5) and in the M/L (n = 10) and H (n = 5) infection groups. Values are presented as the mean ± SEM. Statistical differences among groups at P < 0.05 are noted with different letters [one-way analysis of variance (a, c, d) or Kruskall-Wallis test (b)]
