Figure 1.
Volcano plot demonstrating the association of maternal fasting glucose at the time of the OGTT with the cord blood metabolic profile from infants born to obese pregnant women (n = 607). Parameter estimates are graphically represented for each biochemical variable in relation to maternal clinical characteristics following adjustment using a false discovery rate (Benjamin & Hochberg procedure) (17). Statistical significance, P < 0.0027. NEFAs are described using the nomenclature CX:Y, where X is the length of the carbon chain and Y is the number of double bonds. OH in the formula means the molecule contains a hydroxyl-group. CARN, carnitine; LPCE, lysophosphatidylethanolamine; PC, phosphatidylcholine; PCE, acylalkylphosphatidylcholine; SM, sphingomyelin; X30B, x3methyl2oxobutanoicacid; X30V, x4methyl2oxovalvericacid.
