Comparative analysis of changes in mouse plasma lipids with age. (A) Schematic illustration of sample collection. (B) Boxplot showing the distribution of total plasma lipid content and different lipid classes in young and old mice. *P < 0.05, ns: Not Significant. (C) Pie chart depicting the proportion of detected lipids that are significantly increased (red), decreased (blue) or do not change (grey) with age (FDR < 0.05). (D) Pie chart showing the proportion of different classes that change with age. (E) Venn diagram representing the overlap of deregulated lipids detected with the LC-MS and Lipidyzer platforms. TAG were excluded from this analysis because of nomenclature discrepancies between the two approaches. (F) Proportion and number of deregulated lipids within each class. TAG: triacylglycerol, DAG: diacylglycerol, PC: phosphatidylcholine, PE: phosphatidylethanolamine, PI: phosphatidylinositol, LPC: lysophosphatidylcholine, LPE: lysophoshatidylethanolamine, SM: sphingomyelin, CER: ceramide, CE: cholesterol ester, FFA: free fatty acid, MISC: miscellaneous.
