  1. Abbreviations: CE cholesterol ester, FFA free fatty acids, PC phosphatidylcholine, SM sphingomyelin, TAG triacylglycerol. TAGs have 3 acyl chains, but it is only possible to measure the length and number of double bonds of 1 of them. For example, TAG54:6-FA18:2 has 1 chain that is an 18:2 FA and the other two have a total of 54 carbons and 6 double bonds. The whole TAG has 72 carbons in the chain (plus 3 from the glycerol backbone) and a total of 8 double bonds.
