Comparison of metabolite levels in skin samples from healthy individuals and patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Relative levels of metabolites in skin samples from healthy controls (HC) and from healthy skin and lesions of HS patients (H-HS and L-HS, respectively) are compared. A total of 500 biochemicals were identified in our dataset. Metabolite data were log2-transformed and normalized using Pareto scaling. The statistical analysis was performed on R software using the limma package. False discovery rates (FDR) were calculated using the Benjamini-Hochberg method.
