Multivariate analysis of metabolic phenotypes of stored red blood cells (RBCs) from glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-deficient donors. Partial least square discriminant analysis [PLS-DA—panel (A)] revealed a U-shaped distribution of packed RBC samples from G6PD-deficient donors over storage in the blood bank, consistent with previous reports from Palsson’s lab (29, 30) and our group (9, 31). A loading plot for most significant variables informing the PLS-DA discrimination is shown in panel (B), and includes bioactive lipids and bile acids. In panel (C), a heat map of time course metabolic changes in RBCs from G6PD sufficient (median) or deficient (n = 6) donors, divided by pathway as specified by color codes in the top right corner of the panel.
