Liver metabolites in weanling and adult control and tumour-bearing animals. Lipid metabolism-related metabolites: (a) hepatic fat; (b) 3-hydroxybutyrate; (c) betaine; (d) choline; (e) nicotinurate; (f) O-phosphocholine; (g) O-phosphoethanolamine. Energy status and nucleotide-related metabolites: (h) uridine; (i) NAD+; (j) xanthosine; (k) hypoxanthine (l) inosine. Glucose metabolism-related metabolites: (m) glycogen; (n) lactate. Others: (o) dimethylamine. Legend: WC, weanling control group (n = 7); WW, weanling tumour-bearing group (n = 10); AC, adult control group (n = 6); AW, adult tumour-bearing group (n = 8). Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD), millimolar/milligram of liver tissue or mg/100 g of liver tissue for glycogen content. Data were analysed by two-way ANOVA and corrected for multiple comparisons by the post hoc test Bonferroni. a represents differences from the WC group, b indicates differences from AC group and c indicates differences from the WW group. Differences were significant when p < 0.05.
