Table 1. Numbers of significant different metabolite in plasma and serum.

Plasma (nā€Š=ā€Š377) Serum (nā€Š=ā€Š377)
T2D vs. non-T2D (51 vs. 326) 25 40
Male vs. Female (197 vs. 180) 62 69
Smoker vs. non-smoker (45 vs. 332) 4 6

All three analyses use both plasma and serum from the same individuals. In each analysis, two different phenotypes were compared using a Wilcoxon test with the Bonferroni correction. The numbers of significantly different metabolites between phenotypes are shown in the table.
