The molecular species composition of DHA-containing TAG species was determined by MRM in LC/MS as described in Section 2.5 (and supplementary data, Table 1). The nomenclature of the species is based on the fatty acid composition, but the position of the fatty acids on the glycerol backbone has not been determined. The values shown are mean ± SEM of 9 experiments for LPC-DHA and 7 experiments for free DHA.
