Figure 3.

Select markers of IUGR insult and later MetS that were altered significantly at weaning (d21). The metabolite expression Z scores are plotted for individual animals and connected to paired and matching m/z in neighboring groups in a hive plot. Variously shaded lines of purple indicate different m/z of the same metabolite. Mean peak intensity (Z = 0) is indicated by the gray line, whereas green and red lines are Z = 1 and −1, respectively. All peaks identified for citric acid (A), glucosamine (B), myoinositol (C), and proline (D) are plotted. Changing metabolites plotted are in boldface and thereby, noted as significant, as shown in Table 2.
