Changes in lipid molecular species and sterols of microsomal membranes during aging of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) seed-tubers.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Changes in sterols and the molecular species composition of polar lipids from microsomal membranes were characterized as a prerequisite to determining how lipid chemistry affects membrane susceptibility to peroxidation during aging of potato tubers. Polar lipid content of the microsomal fraction fell 17% (protein basis) as tubers aged from 22 to 38 mon at 4 degrees C. In younger seed-tubers, PC concentration (protein basis) was the highest, followed by digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG), PE, monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), and PI. PC and PE increased 14 and 27%, respectively, whereas glycolipids fell 64 and PI 43% with advancing age. These changes resulted in PC and PE dominating the microsomal membrane lipids of 38-mon-old tubers. Nonpositional analysis of lipid molecular species across lipid pools showed an increase in 16:0/18:3, 18:3/18:3, and 18:2/18:3 (PC and PE only), and a decline in 18:2/18:2 and 16:0/18:2 (except for MGDG) with advancing tuber age. The increase in 18:3-bearing species effected a linear increase in double-bond index (DBI) of PC and PE during aging. The DBI of DGDG did not change with age; however, it fell 65% for MGDG, resulting in an overall decrease in average microsomal DBI. In addition, A5-avenasterol and stigmasterol concentrations increased 1.6- and 3.3-fold, respectively, effecting a significant increase in the sterol/phospholipid ratio with advancing tuber age. The increase in sterol/phospholipid ratio and the possibility that the increased unsaturation of microsomal membranes reflects a compensatory response to maintain optimal membrane function in light of the age-induced loss of galactolipid and PI are discussed.
