Notes. Two drug-resistant strains (microvesicular steatosis severity score in INH-treated animals of 0–1; NON/ShiLtJ, C57BR/cdJ) and three drug-sensitive strains (microvesicular steatosis severity score in INH-treated animals of 2–5; NOR/LtJ, DBA/J, and LG/J) were selected for evaluation of metabolic profiling of liver tissue. All animals were binned according to low (0–1) or high (2–5) severity score and OPLS-DA analysis was performed to identify the metabolites most necessary to facilitate separation between the groups. The metabolite increase (Incr) or decrease (Decr) is listed for high microvesicular steatosis severity score animals in comparison to low microvesicular steatosis severity score animals. Significance was calculated using Student's t-test. NS: not significant at threshold of p < 0.1.
