Relative quantitation of different lipids in the serum of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) versus normal cognition (NC) using untargeted lipidomic analysis were presented in a heat map (A). This analysis identified a total of 646 lipids in different classes. Comparison of fold change in the log 2 transformed values of T2DM NC patients with MCI patients identified significant changes in 14 species of triacylglycerols, 11 species of sphingolipids, 5 species of phosphatidylcholine, one species each of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and cholesterol ester. These results were visualized in a heat map (B).
