Competing Interests
Dr. Kastenmüller has a patent pending which is not related to the submitted analysis (“Identity elucidation of unknown metabolites”, EP 2726636 A2, PCT/US2012/043461). Dr. Winkelmann received personal fees from Xenoport and grant support from UCB outside the submitted work. Serum metabolic profiles of KORA controls were partly financed from Pfizer Worldwide Research and Development (http://www.pfizer.com/). This does not alter the authors' adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
