Note: Core metabolite differences in response to PFOS exposure across all three dietary groups are listed (n=68/group). The fold difference data were obtained from volcano plot results as determined by using MetaboAnalyst (version 5.0). Detailed metabolomic data are listed in Excel Table S5. Lys, lysine; MW, molecular weight; PFOS, perfluorooctane sulfonate; Rt, retention time; UDP, uridine diphosphate.
