Metabolomics Reveals Relationship between Plasma Inositols and Birth Weight: Possible Markers for Fetal Programming of Type 2 Diabetes
Figure 2
Prediction of birth weight by the 1H NMR metabolite profile of plasma samples from low birth weight (LW) and high birth weight (HW) piglets. (a) Predicted versus measured birth weight from PLS regression with NMR-variables as -variables and measured birth weight as -variable. Values are given in Kg. , Root mean squared error of prediction Kg. (b) The corresponding regression coefficients. The regression coefficients show the relationship between the NMR variables used as predictors for the birth weight. A positive coefficient shows a positive link with birth weight, and a negative coefficient shows a negative link. NMR variables with a small coefficient are negligible.
