  1. Conversely, other metabolites showed downregulated expression in M4 relative to O4. A log2 fold change (log2FC) ≥ 1 was used to define upregulated metabolites, while a log2FC ≤  − 1 indicated downregulated metabolites. Variable importance in projection (VIP) refers to the relative influence of each metabolite in the group; metabolites with higher VIP values are more influential.
