Of these, 148 were shared between the two sample types. Using a bidirectional fold-change threshold, differential analysis showed that mouse retinal organoids preserved a substantial metabolic signature shared with mouse retina. However, selective differences were observed in the abundance of glycolysis-associated metabolites and pentose phosphate intermediates including glucose-6-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate, as well as tricarboxylic acid-cycle-associated metabolites including citric acid, fumaric acid and oxalic acid. Pathway enrichment analysis identified significant alterations in alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism. Media analysis further revealed stage-dependent changes in extracellular glutamate and glycine abundance during organoid maturation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MRO retains major components of retinal metabolic organization while exhibiting features suggestive of incomplete metabolic maturation compared with native retina.
