Distinct metabolites in participants with diabetic retinopathy and their counterparts.

Metabolites	Adduction	RT (min)	m/z	P value	FC	AUC
Trehalose	[M-H]-	0.72	342.116	<0.001	0.89	0.70
Glutamate	[M-H]-	0.78	147.053	0.007	1.18	0.65

AUC, area under the curve; FC, fold change; m/z, actual mass-to-charge ratio; RT, retention time; VIP, variable importance in the project.
