    Great Plains organic acids test interpretation

    Thanks for this. I didn't even think that the low Krebs markers were a problem... they just look normal. I'll read through those guides and the oxalate thread and see if I can conclude something. I found a SNP in PFKM in glycolysis rs2228500 AA Arg100Gln. But all I found is this article...

    @alicec Hi Do you know what the "Secondary metabolite degradation" part means? Am I being poisoned by dioxin or is it insignificant? This is compared to all samples: Dioxin degradation 1.31X Xylene degradation 1.31X Drug metabolism - other enzymes 1.07X Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon...
