Adducts represented as carbon chain length: number of double bonds; spectra acquired in positive ion mode, potassium (K+) and sodium (Na+). For each region of interest (ipsilateral cortex, pericontusion cortex, and ipsilateral white matter), n = 3 per group per time period; P values for pixel intensities increase (green) or decrease (red) from control value pixels and were determined by bootstrapping the 95% CIs around the median and two-way analysis of variance for each time period and each region of interest in R. Spectra not detected for a given lipid indicated the phospholipid species that were not gathered in the mass spectrometry run. Sagittal brain-wide changes are indicated by pixel intensity differences between sagittal region of interest of control and sagittal region of interest of 3 HPI (n = 1 per group). Brain-wide pixel intensities at 3HPI are indicated as increase or decrease from control pixel intensities.

P ≤ 0.05, ∗∗P ≤ 0.01, and ∗∗∗P ≤ 0.001.

–, Pixel intensities for a given phospholipid that did not change from control value (P > 0.05); DAG, diacylglycerol; heme, phospholipid class, hemeoglobin; HPI, hours after injury; LPA, lysophosphatidic acid; LPC, lysophosphatidylcholine; LPE, lysophosphatidylethanolamine; m/z, mass/charge ratio; NA, not applicable; ND, not detected; PA, phosphatidic acid; PC, phosphatidylcholine; PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; S1P, sphingosine-1-phosphate.
