Heat map of AA and metabolic marker levels (a) and scatter plot of combined score (b) in individuals of healthy control (HC) and diabetes (DM) from longitudinal study. Abbreviations used: Score, the first decomposed principal component derived from the abundance of the five AAs; DM, future diabetes; DP, diastolic blood pressure; Glucose0, fasting glucose; Glucose120, 2 h glucose; HC, future healthy controls; HDL, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HOMA-Beta = 20*INS0/(Glucose0-3.5); HOMA-IR = Glucose0*Glucose120/22.5; INS0, fasting insulin; INS120, 2 h insulin; Isoleu, isoleucine; LDL, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; Leu, leucine; Matsuda index = 10000/(Glucose0*Glucose120*INS0*INS120)1/2; Phenyl, phenylalanine; SP, systolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; Tyro, tyrosine; Val, valine.
