a flow chart depicting the proposed study design; b heatmap of the metabolic substrate consumption of fatty acids, glycolysis, amino acid and TCA cycle in Panc-1, HeLa, OVCAR3, and SK-MEL-28 cells 3 h following plasma exposure; c fold changes in pathway-specific substrate consumption reveal Panc-1 and HeLa cells consumed predominantly fatty acids, amino acid and TCA substrates following plasma treatment (bars) normalised to each untreated cell line control (solid line). Data are mean ± SEM derived from two to three independent experiments with *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001. Statistical analysis was determined using two-tailed t-test.
