GPs in SF and NP were quantified using LC-MS/MS as described in Methods. Amounts of each GP are expressed as the mean normalized to total the protein content of SF or NP (ng/μg). For each fraction, we used the mean values to estimate proportions of each GP (% Total) and to calculate the relative enrichment in NP compared with SF (NP/SF). We also determined the proportion of LPC to PC (LPC/PC). Levels of PS in NP were very low or not detectable (ND).
