*Metabolite peaks from CPMG.

aConfidence scale is defined as follows: 1) putatively characterized compounds or compound classes, 2) 1 D NMR matches to literature and/or database (BMRB and/or HMDB), 3) HSQC matches on COLMARm, 4) HSQC and HSQC-TOCSY match on COLMARm, and 5) verified by spiking.

bPotential assignments of this peak are listed in Supplemental Table S3.

CPMG, Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill; HSQC, heteronuclear single-quantum coherence; OL, overlap, OL8, threonine overlaps with phosphorylcholine; BMRB, Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank; HMDB, Human Metabolome Database; COLMAR, Complex Mixture Analysis by NMR;TOCSY, total correlation spectroscopy; UK, unknown metabolites.
