Competing Interests
Metabolon Inc acted as a funder only through employment of KB and WG. The role of Metabolon was performance of the metabolomic analysis reported in this study. Other than that, Metabolon had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. This was strictly controlled by the academic team and free of any competing interest. Besides KB and GW being employees of Metabolon, Inc, the authors have no other affiliations to this company, neither through employment, consulting, patents, marketing products, etc. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
