CUA Group: Statistically Significant Metabolites in Warm vs. Cold Season

Metabolite concentrations from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples of CUA horses, analyzed for seasonal differences. The dataset, created by Julia Drespling and last updated in April 2026, is an 8.8 KB XLSX file containing results from a statistical comparison between warm and cold seasons. It likely includes metabolite names and associated statistical significance values.

Use Cases

• Identify seasonal biomarkers in equine airway metabolome based on statistically significant metabolite comparisons.
• Investigate pathways like cholesterol metabolism or mTOR signaling based on metabolite profiles mentioned in platform tags.
• Validate or compare findings from the 'Fella' R package for metabolomic analysis.
• Perform secondary statistical analysis or meta-analysis based on the provided significance results.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is small (8.8 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Metadata indicates use of specific analytical methods like NMR and principal component analysis.

Limitations

• Row count and column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
• The dataset's small size suggests it contains summary results rather than raw observational data.
