Fig. 4.
Structure and fragmentation scheme of CE (upper right); EIC of total CE (A), CE 16:1 (A1), and CE 18:1 (A2) following RR-RP-HPLC separation and +ESI/TOF-MS detection of pooled sebum; PI scan spectra of CE 16:1 (B1), and CE 18:1 (B2) in sebum separated in the same chromatographic conditions. PI scans of CE were achieved with the collision energy and the fragmentor voltage set at 24 and 140 V, respectively. CE, cholesteryl/cholesterol ester; EIC, extracted ion chromatogram; PI, product ion; RR-RP-HPLC, rapid resolution reversed-phase HPLC; TOF, time of flight.
