1 Mean of normalized (mTIC) peak intensities (mz/rt) for human milk (HM), cow’s milk-based formula (MF), and soy-formula (SF) diet groups after MetaboAnalyst analyses. Means with different letters indicate statistical difference between diet groups. 2 SEM = Standard error of the mean. 3 FDR = Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted p-Value.
