Alterations in aqueous metabolite and lipid abundance from London (LDN) to Everest base camp (EBC). Aqueous metabolite 1H-NMR spectral regions (A) and lipids (assessed using DIMS) (B) undergoing the largest degree of change with ascent to EBC, identified using Hierarchical Bayesian statistics. Values are corrected to LDN, and so are expressed as a ratio of LDN: EBC, with a value of 1 indicative of no change. Presented as minimum to maximum box and whisker plots, with the middle line representing the median and the box the interquartile range (25th to 75th percentiles).
