The change with anti-TNF therapy in patients with CD | Statistics for these metabolites in patients with JIAb | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Metabolite abundance change on therapya | p-value: raw [corrected for the number of tested metabolites] | Metabolite abundance change on therapya | Raw p-value | |
Isoleucine | Decrease | 1.6 × 10−4 [0.004] | Increase | 0.84, NS |
Uracil | Decrease | 9.6 × 10−4 [0.002] | Increase | 0.94, NS |
Glucose | Increase | 0.002 [0.03] | Decrease | 0.38, NS |
Glycerol | Increase | 6.17 × 10−5 [0.003] | Decrease | 0.94, NS |
aCoefficients are not reported as they reflect the absolute change in units of the area under the peak, which is meaningless to interpret.
bIn JIA, none of 57 tested metabolites showed a significant change with anti-TNF: the lowest raw p-value was 0.027, corresponding to a corrected p of 0.74.
NS, not significant.
