Figure 1

Left panel, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of sarcolemmal ethanolamine glycerophospholipids performed using highly purified sarcolemma prior to HPLC purification of ethanolamine glycerophospholipids. Approximately 500 pg of ethanolamine glycerophospholipids were dissolved in CHCl3,/CH3OH prior to obtaining fast atom bombardment mass spectra using a Xenon beam to ionize lipids as guests in a glycerol matrix, on a copper probe using a commercially available gas chromatography detector. Right panel, chemical structures of subclasses of ethanolamine diacyl, plasmalogen and alkyl ether glycerophospholipids.
