The relative integrals of metabolites were determined by 1D 1H NMR analysis of urine. The values of the correlation number extracted from the correlation plots of OPLS-DA models of WKN versus MS groups. The P values were obtained from Independent-Samples t-test or -test (shown with ). The P values were calculated by Mann–Whitney U test of nonparametric tests and the related integrals were presented in median ± IQR. The arrows (↑/↓) denote higher/lower amounts relative to MS group.
