TABLE 3.

Spearman correlation coefficients and regression P values for log-rank–transformed formate data on blood metabolites in the study population

Metabolite Formate, Spearman’s r P 1
Methionine 0.088 1.20 × 10−4
Serine 0.130 1.5 × 10−7
Glycine −0.082 0.016
Tryptophan 0.122 5.82 × 10−7
Serum folate 0.124 1.67 × 10−5
Homocysteine −0.081 6.03 × 10−5
Serum total vitamin B-12 −0.081 7.61 × 10−4
Choline 0.091 1.07 × 10−4
Cysteine −0.037 0.150
Cystathionine 0.035 0.105
Red blood cell folate 0.000 0.921
Holotranscobalamin −0.031 0.674
Methylmalonic acid 0.006 0.268

1 P values are based on the following models: y = α0 + α1x + ε, where y = inverse normal rank transformation of formate and x is one of the metabolites. The P value is for the null H0: α1 = 0.
