Percent and total number (in parentheses) of members of lipid classes that were significantly different in 24-week-old db/db compared with db/+ mice. P < 0.01 based on a two-sample t-test with FDR correction, n = 10 per group. CerP, ceramide-1-phosphate; ND, not determined. Trends are summarized in supplemental Table S5.
