Table 4. Number of lipid species or group of isomeric/isobaric species identified by untargeted lipidomics in six Quaker parrots (Myiopsitta monachus) plasma.
Lipid identification was performed using LIPIDMAPS structural database (LMSD) bulk structure and LipidBlast. The most abundant identified lipids are also displayed by category. Lipid species abbreviation follows the LIPIDMAPS nomenclature. Abundant species were determined based on peak intensity within lipid groups.
