Hi, I was trying a principal component analysis and I'd like to get some help
First, here is a table that shows measured concentrations of dopamine (DA), 3,4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), and homovanillic acid (HVA) in mice urine after 2 hours of brain electric stimulus. The stimulus intensity were control in 3 mice, 100 μA in 4 mice, and 200 μA in 4 mice.
Using pca function, How can I interpret that which hormone is the most significant?
Also, I'd like to draw a scatter plot in different colors in each group (control, 100, 200)?

I tried using pca function typing as
[coeff_2hours,score_2hours,latent_2hours,explained_2hours,mu_2hours]=pca(x2hours)
and here are the output results
coeff_2hours=
0.079673 0.528817 0.844988
0.418385 0.751662 -0.50986
0.904769 -0.39415 0.161362
score_2hours=

You forgot to attach x2hours. Please do so
save('answers.mat', 'x2hours');
Also, I don't know what you plotted but I'm not sure I see any point in using PCA since your data looks like a shotgun blast - totally uncorrelated.

@Jin Woo:
If you search this forum for cyclist and pca, you will find a few question/answers where I explain a lot about the interpretation of PCA output. Here are a couple you might want to look at:
