Figure 2

Graph shows the lipid classes detected in the plasma of patients with PPMS and healthy controls. Neutral and polar lipids were measured, and then classified based on their main biological function: storage, signalling, metabolism product, and membrane lipids. 1,068 lipid species, belonging to 15 different lipid classes, were detected in the plasma of PPMS patients. In bold-italic is indicated the name of the lipid class and in round brackets its abbreviation. In square brackets is indicated the total number of lipids detected per each class. Up-facing and down-facing arrows indicates fold-change (PPMS/controls) trends of increased or decreased lipid levels respectively.
