Figure 6.

Amounts of total diacyl-, alkylacyl-, and alkenylacyl-phosphatidylcholine (PC) species in each tissue of a pork chop section. Intensities of (a) total diacyl-, (b) total alkylacyl- and alkenylacyl-PC species, and (c) total of all three PC species in longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle (loin), intermuscular fat tissue, transparent tissue, and spinalis muscle using MALDI-MSI. The data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). Mean values with different letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) as determined by Dunnett’s T3 multiple comparisons test.
