NCF1 and colitis: While the recovery groups drifted toward a common metabolic profile, the Ncf1 and WT groups after the second DSS-induction colitis are distinct from each other with lower blood glucose [variable importance in projection (VIPs) at 3.23, 3.37, 3.41, 3.52, and 5.22] and higher lactate levels (VIPs at 1.31, 4.10, and 4.15) on the Ncf1 group.
