Figure 6

Heat map and dendrogram. Legend - The heat map was produced by the MetabR program using the chicken example data included in Additional files3 and4. The metabolites are in the columns and the chicken adipose samples are in the rows. Columns are mean-centered, with relative abundance represented by color (blue, lower abundance; red, higher abundance), as indicated in the legend. InsNeut chickens cluster in the upper half of the dendrogram, completely separate from Fast chickens, suggesting that these two treatment groups have distinct metabolic signatures, while the metabolic signature of the Control chickens appears less distinct. Note: the LC-MS/MS instrument method is unable to differentiate between the several isomeric dihexoses, and therefore they are measured as a group.
