Values are represented as the fold‐induction of the peak intensity among polyps (n = 7) and non‐polyp tissues (n = 7) of the APCmin/+ mice, and the corresponding control intestinal tissues (n = 6) of the wild mice. All data are represented in Table S2, and the metabolites that showed significantly altered levels are shown in Table 2. APCmin, APC multiple intestinal neoplasia. P‐values were calculated using Student's t‐test; *P < 0.05.
