Patterns of plasma metabolites in overnight-fasted women during the first 5 min of recovery following a 30-min exercise bout, using combined data from before and after a weight loss and training intervention. Results are illustrated as metabolite network clusters representing structural and biochemical similarity classes, with blue symbols indicating an exercise-associated reduction and orange symbols indicating an increased concentration. Only annotated (known) metabolites are depicted, and node sizes convey magnitude of change. The change in lathosterol was the only statistically significant metabolite change (mixed-effects model, P < 0.05). Individual metabolite excursions may be found in Supplemental Figs. S1, A and B, and S2.
