Visualization of lipids in skeletal muscles by mass spectrometry imaging

Lipids are the major components of cells and, in addition to being involved in cell signaling, play a major role in the skeletal muscles. Lipids comprise a large number of molecular species with their different fatty acid compositions, and it is hard to visualize their spatial localization to identi...

description Lipids are the major components of cells and, in addition to being involved in cell signaling, play a major role in the skeletal muscles. Lipids comprise a large number of molecular species with their different fatty acid compositions, and it is hard to visualize their spatial localization to identify muscle-fiber-specific lipid dynamics. In this short review, we present a molecular imaging technology, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging, capable of imaging small metabolites including lipids. This technology has the potential to reveal the lipid dynamics that occur during muscle contraction and/or disease status.
