Note: All p‐values were calculated using generalized liner models comparing relative abundance in exclusive breast fed, mixed and exclusive formula fed infants. Significant p‐values are boldfaced. Relative abundance is shown in arbitrary units. Putative annotations: C24H30O8 – Esterone Glucoronide, C27H38O9 –Hydroxyprogesterone Glucoronide, C30H40O8 – Hydroxypentaoxolanostenoic acid.
Abbreviations: LysoPA, lysophosphosphatidic acid; LysoPE, lysophosphatidylethanolamine; LysoPG, lysophosphatidylglycerol; LysoPS, lysophosphatidylserine.
