During this FIGURE 1 A) Percentages of each category of lipids found in feline plasma. Fatty acyls, FA; glycerolipids, GL; glycerophospholipids, GP; sphingolipids, SP; and sterol lipids, ST. B) Signal intensities (mean AE SEM) for the known lipids detected in feline urine process, plasma proteins form a variety of heterogeneous structures known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These compounds have been associated with several pathologies including obesity, diabetes, cirrhosis, cardiovascular disease, renal failure, and neurological disorders.
