Lipids were annotated according to the described shorthand notation32 and LIPID MAPS nomenclature33. Briefly, the different lipid species of PC, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and diacylglycerol (DAG) are listed with the two fatty acyl groups separated with a hyphen, e.g., PC 16:0–18:1, when positions are unknown and with a slash, e.g., PC 16:0/16:0, when known. LysoPC and lysoPE are abbreviated as LPC and LPE, respectively, and cholesteryl esters are abbreviated CE. Ether-linked phospholipids are shown as PC O (alkyl), PC P (alkenyl), PE O (alkyl), and PE P (alkenyl). Fatty acyl groups of ether-linked lipids and N-amidated fatty acyl groups for SM, ceramide (Cer), sphingolipids, and gangliosides are shown after the slash. Sphingolipids are: sphingosine (SPH), sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), sphinganine-1-phosphate (SA1P), glucosylceramide (GlcCer), lactosylceramide (LacCer), and globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Gangliosides are: GD1, GM1, GM3, GQ1 and GT2. Fatty acids and eicosanoids are: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE), 11-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (11-HETE), 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE), 8-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (8-HETE), 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE), 9- hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (9-HODE), 6-keto prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1alpha), prostaglandin F2α (PGF2alpha), tromboxane B2 (TXB2), tromboxane B3 (TXB3), 12-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (12-HEPE), 14,15-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (14_15-DHET), 11,12-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (11_12-DHET), 8,9-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (8_9-DHET), 5,6-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (5_6-DHET), hydroxyoctadecatrienoic acid (13-HOTrE), 12-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-oxoETE), 5-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxoETE), 5-hydroxyicosapentaenoic acid (5-HEPE), 15-hydroxyicosapentaenoic acid (15-HEPE).
