Fig. 1. A comparison of the type and concentration of the three most common
glycerophospholipid classes (A) phosphatidylcholine (PC), (B)
phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and (C) phosphatidylserine (PS) present in
mouse, sheep and cow kidney. Statistical analysis for differences in the
concentration of these phospholipids in kidney between the three mammal
species is provided in Table 2.
Values are means ± s.e.m. (N=4).
