“…The presence of large fatty acid droplets, observed as well defined high intensity areas of C16:1 (C 16 H 29 O 2 − , palmitoleic acid, m/z 253.2), 43, 44 C16:0 (C 16 H 31 O 2 − , palmitic acid, m/ z 255.2), 44, 45 C18:2 (C 18 H 29 O 2 − , linoleic acid, m/z 279.2), 44, 46 C18:1 (C 18 H 33 O 2 − , oleic acid, m/z 281.2), 44, 45 and C18:0 (C 18 H 35 O 2 − , stearic acid, m/z 283.2), 13, 44, 45, 47 were occasionally observed in different tissue sections. The strong signal from the fatty acid droplets would dominate PCA and the main variability between the samples would then be related to fatty acid droplets present in that particular tissue slice.…”
