Identity (ID) numbers and descriptions are from the Human Metabolome Database if not otherwise referenced; more than one ID indicates multiple compounds match to the observed ion.

2

Multiple ion types indicate that more than one ion type was observed with q < 0.1. Ion types with q-values > 0.1 are not reported here but are included in Supplemental Table 1.

*

q-values represent false discovery rate. q-values with an asterisk indicate ions that were differentially abundant at α=0.1 with Bonferroni correction.
