back-bone) metabolism were significantly higher after SNMP: ribose (.22-folds, p<0.001), ribonate (.37-folds, p<0.001), and ribitol (.10.5-folds, p<0.001). Glycolysis metabolites increased during SNMP: glucose-6-phosphate (.23-folds, p=0.01), fructose-6-phosphate (.12-folds, p=0.03), and phosphorenolpyruvate (.8-folds, p=0.03). Antioxidant pathways were fully functional after SNMP: glutathione-...
