Fig. 1: Metabolome diversity differs slightly between children and caregivers.

From: The salivary metabolome of children and parental caregivers in a large-scale family environment study

Fig. 1

Comparisons of caregivers and children by (A) NMDS ordination and (B) linear mixed-effects models of the relative peak heights of the 20 most significantly differentially abundant metabolites (Padj < 2 × 10–15). Dyad explained most of the variation between our subjects (F = 1.8, R2 = 0.62, P < 0.001 while categorical age explained ~2% of metabolome variation (F = 37.2, R2 = 0.02, P < 0.001). (+) or (−) denotes positive or negative metabolite ions.
