Note that this table includes chemical names for the diacyl phosphoglycerides that we studied previously and, to the extent possible, uses the same abbreviations for these phosphoglycerides that we used then (16). The table also includes the chemical names of the phosphoglycerides that we studied in this investigation, but we had to change the abbreviation for docosahexaenoic acid (formerly D) to Dh to distinguish it from the abbreviation for docosapentaenoic acid (Dp) and for arachidonic acid (formerly A) to Ar to distinguish it from the abbreviation for molecular area. Furthermore, we used the abbreviations Dp3 and Dp6 to distinguish the n-3 and n-6 isomers of docosapentaenoic acid, Dp, and used the abbreviations, Od for octadecyl, Oe for 1-Z-octadecenyl, and PC, PE, and PS for phosphocholine, phosphoethanolamine, and phosphoserine.
