TABLE 1. Amounts of glycerophosphocholine lipid species in INS-1 cells with different levels of iPLA2β expression.
Phospholipids were extracted from control or iPLA2β-KD INS-1 cells, and lipid phosphorus (P) was measured. Internal standard 14:0/14:0-GPC was added, and GPC lipid-Li+ adducts were analyzed by ESI/MS. GPC species identities were determined by MS/MS, and their quantities were determined relative to 14:0/14:0-GPC with a standard curve. Mean values ± S.E. (n = 6) are tabulated.
| Value of m/z | Predominant GPC species | Control amount | iPLA2β-KD amount |

| 788 | 16:0/20:4-GPC | 19 ± 2 | 19 ± 2 |
| 792 | 18:1/18:1-GPC | 152 ± 15 | 121 ± 12 |
| 794 | 18:0/18:1-GPC | 70 ± 7 | 72 ± 7 |
| 814 | 18:1/20:4-GPC | 19 ± 2 | 20 ± 2 |
