In the metabolome cohort, fold changes of members from subpathways of xanthine metabolism and benzoate metabolism are shown between the following groups: infertility vs spontaneous, the IVF vs spontaneous, NIFT vs spontaneous, and IVF vs NIFT. Analysis of covariance was performed, using BMI as a covariate.

a

P < 0.05 for decreased levels of metabolites.

b

0.05 < P < 0.1 for decreased levels of metabolites.

c

P < 0.05 for increased levels of metabolites.

d

0.05 < P < 0.1 for increased levels of metabolites.
