Profiles of organic acids and vitamins during 58 hr of fasting. (a,b) Increased levels of organic acids during fasting. 2-oxoglutarate, malate, cis-aconitate, and succinate are newly identified as fasting markers (a) in addition to confirmation of a previously reported increase of citrate (b). (c) Increased levels of nicotinamide in RBCs and pantothenate (a precursor for CoA) in whole blood. In each panel, p-values are presented to show the significance of serial change until 58 hr by Friedman test.
