Imaging MS visualize the zonation patterns of BA metabolism in liver of HFD-fed mice. MS ion images representing spatial distributions of the identified taurine-conjugated BAs at m/z 498.2895 ± 0.05 (TCDCA/TUDCA/TDCA) and m/z 514.2844 ± 0.05 (TCA/TMCA) for the mouse liver in same tissue section at high spatial resolution. Overlay: Overlay of each MS ion image and optical image. All ion images were normalized to the 9AA matrix signal. The green arrows indicated bile ducts, whereas the red arrows showed blood vessels. Scale bars: 250 μm.
