When analyzed independently of the control group, pooled samples from the two groups receiving malonate showed a trend of having higher succinate concentrations than those receiving RIC alone (repeated measures ANOVA, p = 0.051 for interaction), and significantly reduced levels of fumarate (repeated measures ANOVA, p = 0.014 for interaction and p < 0.001 for group allocation) and malate (repeated measures ANOVA, p = 0.019 for group allocation).
