BAT, brown adipose tissue; DAG, diacylglycerol; N.D., not detectable; PC, phosphatidylcholine; PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; PS, phosphatidylserine; SFA, saturated fatty acid; TAG, triacylglycerol. Values represent the ratio of mean values from Agpat6^−/− mice compared with wild-type mice (n = 3 for each) for total lipid class and the fatty acid constituents. Class and ratio of mass for lipid class are indicated; n3, n6, n7, and n9 represent positions of the double bond in the fatty acid chain.

P < 0.08 for Agpat6^−/− versus the wild type.

P < 0.05 for Agpat6^−/− versus the wild type.
