  1. Possible triglyceride species identified in the mass spectrometry spectra of m/z values that are significantly lower in tumour tissue. Triglycerides are denoted as TG (C:N) where C corresponds to the sum of the carbon atoms in the three fatty acid chains and N corresponds to the sum of the double bonds in the fatty acid chains
