Fig. 5: Analysis of human plasma and lung cancer samples.
From: Large-scale lipid analysis with C=C location and sn-position isomer resolving power

a Hierarchical cluster analysis of normal (N1-N6) and T2D (D1-D6) human plasma samples using 22 sn-position and 12 C=C location isomers. b Hierarchical cluster analysis of paired human NSCLC (T1-T6) and adjacent normal tissues (N1-N6) using 29 sn-isomers and 14 C=C location isomers. Colors represent relative amounts as indicated by the color bar. c The C=C/sn-isomer ratios for representative PCs (PC 34:1, PC 36:1, and PC 38:5) in paired cancerous and normal human lung tissues. Error bar represents the standard deviation, n = 6. ***p < 0.001 (Student’s two-tailed t-test). d Summary of the cluster analysis to obtain correct discrimination of different samples in this study, by using either C=C location isomers or sn-isomers, or combing them together.
