  1. The metabolites listed here are the 50 metabolites measured by Metabolon from broad metabolomics with the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). Metabolites with p-value ≤ 0.05 and FDR ≤ 0.1 marked with Δ. The possible hypothesis tests include Welch’s test without the normality criteria being met (t ≠ †), Welch’s test (t ≠), Mann-Whitney U (MW, and Student’s t-test (t=). The a indicates metabolites that have not been officially confirmed based on a standard, but Metabolon is confident in the metabolite’s identity. The b indicates carnitine-conjugated metabolites
