  1. This putative metabolite panel met two selection criteria: (i) these putative metabolites are differentially expressed in sus scrofa from its pre-TBI baseline in at least one post-TBI phase; and (iii) in sus scrofa, these putative metabolites were consistently expressed in at least two consecutive time points starting from the Early post-TBI phase. The biofunctions, if not cited, were curated from https://hmdb.ca/metabolites. The putative list of metabolites were sorted into organic class of compounds, namely lipid and non-lipid metabolites, and all these spectral features were differentially expressed from the pre-TBI baseline with t-test p < 0.05.
