Figure 2. Lysine metabolism.

Figure 2

Lysine is an essential amino acid that can contribute to energy production through conversion to the ketone bodies, acetoacetate and 3-hydroxybutyrate. A schematic diagram for lysine metabolism is shown in A. Levels of the metabolites found in this pathway are shown in B. P values were calculated via 2-way ANOVA contrasts test. * < 0.05; ** < 0.01; *** < 0.001; p values between 0.05 and 0.1 are shown as numbers. C. Legends description of box-and-whiskers plot. Y-axis: relative amount of metabolite. Metabolites showing significant changes are highlighted in red.
