Sex differences in AC homeostasis. a Profile of AC in cardiac tissue, as measured by LC-MS/MS, presented as fold change between NOD and Wistar rats by sex. An asterisk (*) indicates that the fold change is statistically significant. A dagger (†) indicates that in the ANOVA model, the overall sex difference is statistically significant. b Net ACs level in the tissue, identified by summing up individual AC species. The dagger (†) indicates that in the ANOVA model the overall sex difference is statistically significant. c Distribution of enriched and depleted of AC moities. The asterisk (*) indicates that the distribution is significantly different than a binomial distribution with mean = 0.5. The dagger (†) indicates that the distribution in males and females differ significantly. d Pooled distribution of ACs based on their chain length. e Pooled distribution of ACs based degree of saturation. Data in d and e are presented as mean ± SEM (N = 6). The asterisk (*) indicates that comparison between adjacent bars is significant. The section sign (§) indicates that the ANOVA interaction term is significant. A dagger (†) indicates that in the ANOVA model, the overall sex difference is statistically significant
