FIGURE 3.
Serum concentration of molecular species of PE and pPE in ZIKV infected (ZKV) and controls (CTL) patients. Concentration values are given in μg lipid/μL of serum and data represented as mean ± standard error (n = 12 for each group). Comparison between the groups was performed using t-test (p-value < 0.05) and significantly altered species are marked with ∗. Identified lipid species were annotated by a shorthand nomenclature corresponding to the level of detail attainable by the analysis (e.g., PE 16:0/20:4). The symbol “/” denotes constituting fatty acids moieties of the lipid species, and not their sn-1 and sn-2 position on the glycerol-backbone.
