Brain region specific effects of sleep on acylcarnitines. (a) Distribution and sleep/wake differences of selected acylcarnitine conjugates in the investigated brain regions (N = 6 in each group); (b) Simplified schematic illustration of the carnitine shuttle; (c) Distribution of hydroxyoctadecanoic acid in the investigated brain regions (N = 6) and representative EICs for m/z 299.2580 ([M-H]) in CTX; (d) Simplified schematic representation of the 2-hydroxylation of fatty acids and their incorporation in the myelin components 2-OH-cerebrosides and 2-OH-sulfatides. Error bars: standard deviation (SD); Two-tailed unpaired t-test: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.

AcCoA: acyl-coenzyme A; CPT1/2: carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 and 2.
