Figure 3From: A novel Bayesian approach to quantify clinical variables and to determine their spectroscopic counterparts in 1H NMR metabonomic dataA representative 1H NMR spectrum of serum and the spectroscopic characteristics of the Bayesian model kernels. Illustration of the aliphatic spectral region of a representative experimental 1H NMR spectrum (black) together with the main Bayesian model kernels for the VLDL-TG (orange), IDL-C (lime), LDL-C (sherry) and HDL-C (olive). The assignments for the resonances refer to fatty acids in triglycerides, cholesterol compounds and phospholipids in various lipoprotein particles, the cholesterol backbone -C(18)H3 and the -N(CH3)3 groups of surface phospholipids. Thus, it should be noted that all the lipoprotein fractions present in serum contribute to all of these resonances. The insets show the choline -N(CH3)3 region and the lipid (-CH2-)n region in mode detail. The highest intensity kernel for each lipoprotein fraction was scaled to 1.0. The dotted horizontal line shows the zero level.Back to article page
