Mouse studies typically focus on the set of conditions and particular organs, tissues, or cells within a certain mouse strain. Till 2021 a systematic analysis of the overall variation of the mouse lipidome was lacking.
Scientists from MPI-CBG, Dresden, Germany together with the Lipotype Research and Development Team decided to address this issue. They designed and conducted a study on the effect of diet, sex, and genotype on the lipidomes of mouse tissues, organs, and bodily fluids.
The authors detected, identified, and quantified 796 individual lipid molecules belonging to 24 lipid classes in 10 different sample types.
