FIGURE 6. Tandem mass spectra of glycerophosphocholine lipids from mouse brain and islets.
GPC lipid-Li+ adducts from wild-type or iPLA2β-null mouse brain extracts were analyzed by positive ion ESI/MS/MS. Specific ions were selected in the first mass-analyzing quadrupole and accelerated into the collision cell to induce CAD. Product ions were analyzed in the final quadrupole. Ions selected in the first quadrupole included m/z 788 (A), 816 (B), 766 (C ), and 794 (D).
