Capital letters (A-G) correspond to the area codes in Venn diagram in Fig. 4b.

b

Metabolites satisfying VIP≥ 1.0 or p<0.05 or |FC|>2.0 in pairwise comparison of the arsenical-treated and control islets.

c

Fold Change, the ratio of intensity between the arsenical treated islets vs the control islets, based on the mean, indicates the direction and magnitude of change: positive FC indicates increase compared to control and negative FC indicates decrease compared to control. Lack of FC value (gray area) indicates that the metabolite did not satisfy the above criteria.
