Interaction Information:

Comment All phenotypic analysis steps were performed on population-based cohort data from KORA F4 (1452 males, 1552 females) and KORA F3 (197 males, 180 females) with fasting serum concentrations of 131 metabolites. A combined meta-analysis of KORA F4 and KORA F3 revealed 113 metabolites with a significant effect of sex. The linear regression analysis showed that the concentrations of most amino acids were significantly higher in males except for the concentrations of glycine and serine which displayed higher concentrations in females.
