  1. aMETLIN database search yielded a variety of possibilities for Unknown 5, e.g. aminolevulinic acid and cis/trans-4-hydroxyproline, which could be excluded by mismatching retention time to the in-house database entry. Formula matching of this metabolite is provided.
  2. A Pearson correlation analysis was conducted with a two tailed p-value estimation.
