Correlation between anti-inflammatory index (A-i-i) and epithelial cell protein nitration (NT). Multiple regression was used to assess the relationship between the level of NT content (Log10, pixels/cell) present in intestinal epithelial cells and the independent metabolite variables. Inclusion of a metabolite (class) to the model was valid if the resulting adjusted R2 was increased over that of the prior iterative assessments (Panel A). The effects of dietary treatment on the A-i-i (the sum of the Scaled Imputed Values of the individual metabolites retained in the model, Panel B). Linear regression of the NT pixel content on the A-i-i suggested a significant negative correlation where the greater the A-i-i- the lower the nitration stress (Panel C)
