Schematic overview of the experimental and data analysis design. (a) A total of 50 patients were included in this study and standardized serum samples were obtained from the pulmonary artery (PA) and left atrium (LA) before cardiopulmonary bypass (Pre-CPB), at the end of CPB (Post-CPB), and at 2, 4, 8, and 20 hours postoperatively. (b) Samples were run on a 600 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy apparat. (c) Processed data have been deposited at the MetaboLights database (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights) of the European Bioinformatics Institute under MTBLS8812. (d) NMR spectral data and metabolite quantification were checked by different approaches to ensure data quality. (e) Multivariate and univariate data analysis was performed to identify metabolite changes as a consequence of ischemia-reperfusion. Parts of the figure have been reprinted with permission8,9.
