Comparison of relative concentrations of metabolites in plasma from Callipyge (NmatCpat) and normal (NmatNpat) lambs at 12 weeks of agea.

aData were obtained by using relative intensities of plasma metabolites in 16 NmatCpat and 21 NmatNpat samples which were collected at 12 weeks of age from a total of 37 animals. Concentrations of metabolites identified in Table S1, but not listed in this table, did not change significantly.bVIP, Variable Importance in the Projection. Variables with VIP >1 were considered significant [52].cFold changes of levels of plasma metabolites in NmatCpat lambs compared with the levels in NmatNpat lambs.dLabeled P values were obtained from Mann–Whitney U test and other P values were determined by Student’s t test.eBH Padj, significance levels of metabolites after Benjamini-Hochberg multiple testing correction.f,gMean ± one standard deviation, n = 21 and 16, respectively.hUnidentified metabolites.

a. 本研究数据取自37只12周龄动物的血浆代谢物相对强度，其中NmatCpat组样本16份，NmatNpat组样本21份。表S1中鉴定出但未列入本表的代谢物浓度无显著变化。
b. VIP（Variable Importance in the Projection，投影变量重要性）：VIP值大于1的变量被认为具有统计学显著性[52]。
c. 该值为NmatCpat羔羊与NmatNpat羔羊血浆代谢物水平的倍数变化。
d. 带标注的P值由曼-惠特尼U检验（Mann–Whitney U test）得到，其余P值通过学生t检验（Student’s t test）计算。
e. BH Padj：经Benjamini-Hochberg多重检验校正后的代谢物显著性水平。
f、g. 数据以平均值±标准差表示，样本量分别为21和16。
h. 未鉴定代谢物。
