Metabolite variations across subjects stratified according to intraperitoneal/abdominal fat ratio.

<p>NB: Blood plasma metabolites highlighted by multivariate analyses are reported as mean values ± SD. Key: Qi: data for population quartile i according to intraperitoneal/abdominal fat ratio. 12-HETE, 12-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid; 15-HETE, 12-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid; 9-HODE, 9-Hydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid; AA, arachidonic acid; LPC, Lysophosphatidylcholines; PC, Phosphatidylcholines; PC-O, 1-O-alkyl-2- acylglycerophosphocholines; SM, Sphingomyelines; SM-OH, Hydroxy-Sphingomyelin.</p>*<p>Assignment of PC-O species is made on the assumption that only even numbered carbon chains are present. A potential overlap between PC species containing odd-chain fatty acids and even-chained PC-O species cannot be excluded with low mass resolution.
