Figure 8. Photoreceptor-specific PC species of retinas of 15-month-old +/+, +/− and −/− mice.

Figure 8

(a) Profile of the short-chain PCs shows similar amounts in the +/+ and +/− retinas, but diminished values for several PC species in the −/− animals. (b) The difference profile from the +/+ and −/− retinas reveals four highly enriched photoreceptor PC species. Each of these, except 32:0, also contains 22:6. (c) PC42:11 (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA-DHA) and (d) PC42:12 (DHA–DHA) from 24-day-old mice revealed similar quantification between AdipoR1+/+ and +/− retinas, but greatly reduced amounts within the AdipoR1−/− genotype. (In a,b, AdipoR1+/+, n=7; AdipoR1+/−, n=6; AdipoR1−/−, n=6. In c,d, AdipoR1+/+, n=17; AdipoR1+/−, n=17; AdipoR1−/−, n=11. Error bars represent s.e.m., and **P<0.001, determined by t-test.)
