Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation spiral orbit-type time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-SpiralTOF) can analyse lipid profiles and characterise lipid structure. Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) also provides distribution maps of selected m/z values. Here, we investigated triacylglycerol (TG) structure and distribution using these technologies to estimate mouse fatty liver. The distribution and intensity of the most intense mass spectrum ion was indicated by IMS at m/z 881.7 (52:2). Analysis using MS/MS showed a structural change between liver TG and dietary TG. These findings suggest that MALDI-SpiralTOF is a powerful tool for clinical screening and estimating fatty liver.
基质辅助激光解吸/电离螺旋轨道飞行时间质谱(MALDI-SpiralTOF)可分析脂质谱并表征脂质结构。成像质谱(IMS)还提供了选定 m/z 值的分布图谱。在这里,我们使用这些技术研究了三酰基甘油(TG)的结构和分布,以评估小鼠脂肪肝。IMS 在 m/z 881.7(52:2)处指示了最强烈的质谱离子的分布和强度。MS/MS 分析表明肝 TG 和饮食 TG 之间存在结构变化。这些发现表明 MALDI-SpiralTOF 是临床筛选和估计脂肪肝的有力工具。
