  1. Table of selected metabolites identified from VIP ≥ 1 and significantly upregulated by One-way ANOVA (p < 0.05) at 18 weeks of diet and 9 months of age in HFD-fed mouse plasma vs LD-fed or baseline mouse plasma. AUC; area under curve, CI; confidence interval; HFD; high fat diet; LD; Lean diet. Significant P-values (p < 0.05) determined by Student’s t-test of log-transformed, auto-scaled data comparing animals with severe (OARSI score ≥ 3) vs. non-severe (OARSI score <3) osteoarthritis.
