Analysis of ACQ-derivatised amino acids and of underivatised carnitines in plasma (n = 8 amWT and n = 8 amPA biologically independent samples) (a) and matching cardiac lysates (b). Heat maps show metabolites that are significantly affected by genotype or an interaction between genotype and sex (two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, significance for Padj: less than 0.05). Differentially abundant (Padj < 0.05 for genotype) carnitines and amino acids in plasma (c) and cardiac lysates (d). Diagonal pattern indicates significant effect of sex (Padj < 0.05); hatched pattern indicates significant interaction between sex and genotype (Padj < 0.05). Mean ± s.e.m. e, Analysis of cardiac acyl-CoA by LC–MS. Heat map summarizes abundance (absolute quantity in pmol mg−1 heart tissue) grouped by genotype and sex. Histograms quantify changes, indicating significant (P < 0.05) effect of genotype (GEN) or interaction between sex and genotype (SEX×GEN). n = 8 amWT male hearts, n = 7 amPA male hearts, n = 8 amWT female hearts and n = 8 amPA female hearts, biologically independent samples. Statistical testing by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Mean ± s.e.m. BH(I)B-CoA, β-hydroxy(iso)butyryl-CoA; MM-CoA, methylmalonyl-CoA. */**/*** P < 0.05/<0.01/<0.001 for effect of genotype. s/ss/sss P < 0.05/<0.01/<0.001 for effect of sex. #/## P < 0.05/<0.01 for effect of interaction between genotype and sex.
