Mean Total Number of Absolute Partial Correlations (r ≥ |.30|) of BPA metabolites with 340 metabolomic counts after controlling for sex, age, BMI, and Creatinine by type of sample. Total number of matched metabolomic compounds for metabolite =340, d = effect size The partial correlations were calculated for the log₁₀ transformations of the three BPA with 340 compounds detected in the metabolomic analyses that were represented by at least 20 data points in both the autistic and control samples. Data in regular font are for the total data set (n=98), in italics are the data without the 10 subjects with very high total urinary BPA levels (n=88).
