| Table 2. Concentrations of measured metabolites in the EBC and plasma samples of study patients. Values represent median (interquartile range). Logarithmically
transformed values were used for statistical analysis by ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc tests for paired comparisons. (*p<0.05 compared to BMI<25). |
