Numbers are averages of nine replicates, and standard deviations are listed as ± sd. The abbreviations used in the table are defined as follows: Suc = succinate; Fum = fumarate; Mal = malate; 2KG = 2-ketoglutarate; Cit = citrate; Pyr = pyruvate; Glyc = glycerate; OHB = 3-hydroxybutyrate; OHB-CoA = 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA; EtMA = ethylmalonate; MeSuc = methylsuccinate; P-CoA = propionyl-CoA; MeMA = methylmalonate; Ac-CoA = acetyl-CoA; M-CoA = malonyl-CoA.

a

NM  =  not measured.

b

Other refers to measured metabolites that are not depicted in the central metabolic diagrams (Figure 4) or are components of multiple central metabolic pathways.
