  1. The values in the last column represent the relative molecular abundance in CO₂-stunned animals, expressed as a percentage in relation to electrically stunned animals (set to 100%). Values greater than 100% indicate an increase in metabolite levels under CO₂ stunning. Significant differences were calculated using ANOVA (for parametric data) and the Wilcoxon test (for non-parametric data).
