Figure 3

Prepubertal rabbit cardiac lipids: separation by thin-layer chromatography. Neutral lipid detection by iodine vaporization (a). PL: phospholipids; MAG: monoacylglycerol; 1,2DAG: 1,2 diacylglycerol; 1,3DAG: 1,3 diacylglycerol; FC: free cholesterol; FFA: free fatty acid; TG: triacylglycerol. Phospholipid detection by iodine vaporization (b). PI: phosphatidylinositol; PS: phosphatidylserine. Phospholipid detection by ninhydrine (c). PC: phosphatidylcholine; SM: sphingomyelin; LPC: lysophosphatidylcholine; FC: female control group; MC: male control group, FHFD: female high-fat diet group; MHFD: male high-fat diet group.
