Metabolomics of Repo>20xShibire fly heads.

All measured metabolites and their respective categories are listed for samples from Repo-GAL4>UAS-20xShibire, and both parental controls. Welch’s t-test was performed on scaled signal for each metabolite, comparing the conditions shown. Green highlighting marks a significant difference (p≤0.05) between the groups, where metabolite ratio is <1.00, while light green is not significant, but close to the threshold (0.05<p<0.10). Red highlighting marks a significant difference (p≤0.05) between groups where metabolite ratio is ≥1.00, and light red is not significant, but close to the threshold (0.05<p<0.10).
