Selected serum metabolites with potential value as biomarkers of gallbladder mucocele formation.

<p>Each metabolite was identified by Random Forest analysis as important for classification of dogs into either control or gallbladder mucocele formation groups. Panel A demonstrates compounds observed to be significantly higher in the serum of dogs with mucocele formation. Panel B demonstrates compounds observed to be significantly lower in the serum of dogs with mucocele formation compared to control dogs. Data represent median, 25^th to 75^th percentile (box), 10^th to 90^th percentile (whiskers), and outlier data points.
