Metabolomic insights into system-wide coordination of vertebrate metamorphosis

Table 4 Summary of the lipid metabolites discovered

Lipid	Abbreviation	Number identified	Most common pattern
Triglyceride	TG	79	↓ at froglet
Diglyceride	DG	13	↑ at climax then ↓ at froglet
Phosphatidic acid	PA	36	↓ at froglet
Phosphatidylcholine	PC	27	↓ at froglet
Phosphatidylethanolamine	PE	18	↓ at froglet
Phosphatidylglycine	PG	29	↑ at climax
Phosphatidylserine	PS	62	↓ at froglet
Phosphatidylinositol	PI	28	↓ at froglet

Most of these lipid metabolites were found in Tot⁺ or Tot^-. For many lipid metabolites, structural isomers were possible, therefore only the type of the lipid molecule (e.g. TG) was used as the ID.
