Figure 5. Starvation-mediated amino acid dynamics.

Figure 5

(A) Tukey box plots of amino acids, grouped by whether they are glucogenic, both glucogenic and ketogenic, or ketogenic. The branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are shown in the shaded box. *Fasting and refed (RF) time points with adjusted P < 0.05 relative to baseline (day 0). (B) Spaghetti plot for each subject of β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) levels relative to baseline (day 0, dashed line). *Time points with P < 0.05 (false discovery rate adjustment for multiple comparisons) relative to baseline (day 0). (C) Univariate regression of respiratory quotient (R.Q.) on final fast day versus average relative BAIBA levels over the course of the fast.
