Commonly coregulated lipid subclasses between plasma and each tissue in 24-week-old db/+ and db/db mice. For saturation, each class was separated into low (unsaturated/monounsaturated) and high (polyunsaturated). For acyl-chain length, each class was divided into thirds (bottom, mid, top). P < 0.1 using correlation analysis at the set level, n = 10 per group. PlPE, plasmenyl-phosphatidylethanolamine. Data are also presented in supplemental Tables S7 and S8.
