Endogenous trans fatty acids originate from diet, but recent studies also suggest that cis-trans isomerization of fatty acids is possible by nitrogen dioxide radical, a product of NO and nitrite oxidation. We developed a method for quantitative analysis of four trans-arachidonic acids (TAA) in human plasma using isotopic dilution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with deuterium-labeled internal standard. Esterification of the plasma fatty acid extract with pentafluorobenzyl (PFB) bromide followed by high-performance liquid chromatography purification yielded a fairly pure fraction containing TAA-PFB esters that was analyzed by GC/MS. Partial separation of the TAA isomers was obtained on various GC columns. Comparison of the retention time with the synthetic standards revealed that all four TAA isomers are present in human plasma. The mean concentration of TAA in human plasma was 20.2ng/ml. The levels of isomers were 12.48+/-1.28, 2.75+/-0.39, and 4.99+/-0.74ng/ml for 5E-AA + 11E-AA, 8E-AA, and 14E-AA, respectively. The identification of TAA in plasma suggests that isomerization of arachidonic acid occurs in vivo. Our method allows distinguishing between the dietary and the NO(2)-dependent mechanisms of trans fatty acid formation and will be useful in defining the role of TAA as an in vivo marker of nitrooxidative stress in clinical and experimental settings. 相似文献

A fast gas chromatographic technique for the determination of fatty acids in human plasma was developed. Its validation and comparison to a conventional method are here reported. The fast method significantly reduced the time required for analysis by a factor of 5 (total time of 3.2 min) while maintaining a similar resolution. Reproducibility of qualitative and quantitative data was measured in both applications. The results demonstrated that the applied fast gas chromatography (GC) conditions do not affect the analytical quality of the assays, allowing a short analysis time. 相似文献

Plasma fatty acid metabolic profiling and biomarkers of type 2 diabetes mellitus based on GC/MS and PLS-LDA 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Metabolic profiling has increasingly been used as a probe in disease diagnosis and pharmacological analysis. Herein, plasma fatty acid metabolic profiling including non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) and esterified fatty acid (EFA) was investigated using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) followed by multivariate statistical analysis. Partial least squares-linear discrimination analysis (PLS-LDA) model was established and validated to pattern discrimination between type 2 diabetic mellitus (DM-2) patients and health controls, and to extract novel biomarker information. Furthermore, the PLS-LDA model visually represented the alterations of NEFA metabolic profiles of diabetic patients with abdominal obesity in the treated process with rosiglitazone. The GC/MS-PLS-LDA analysis allowed comprehensive detection of plasma fatty acid, enabling fatty acid metabolic characterization of DM-2 patients, which included biomarkers different from health controls and dynamic change of NEFA profiles of patients after treated with medicine. This method might be a complement or an alternative to pathogenesis and pharmacodynamics research. 相似文献

One-step rapid extractive methylation of plasma nonesterified fatty acids for gas chromatographic analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The present report describes a one-step method for the derivatization and extraction of nonesterified fatty acids in plasma with subsequent analysis by conventional capillary gas-liquid chromatography or gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The procedure requires 200 microliters of citrated plasma, dilution with 200 microliters of methanol containing a suitable internal standard, and rapid methylation (10 min) with ethereal diazomethane. An aliquot (60%) of the ether layer is subsequently removed, taken to dryness with nitrogen gas, and the residue is dissolved in a small volume of hexane (usually 50 microliters) for chromatographic analysis (taking 1 microliter for on-column injection). Samples are ready for analysis within 15 min after initial preparation of the plasma. The method has been found to be simple and rapid, providing clean fatty acid profiles. Although the method has been tested with 200 microliters of rat and human plasma, it can easily be adapted to a 40 microliters plasma sample if the esterified plasma extract is suspended in a smaller volume of hexane and/or a larger aliquot of the extract were to be injected into the gas chromatograph through use of a splitless injector. 相似文献

A method to prepare fatty acid methyl esters was developed for fatty acid analysis of triacylglycerols by gas chromatography (GC). Triacylglycerols were mixed with methanolic CH3ONa in hexane containing a mid-polar solvent for 10 s at room temperature. Under these conditions, trioleoylglycerol was converted to methyl oleate with an average yield of 99.3%. This procedure gave reliable and reproducible data on fatty acid compositions determined by GC. 相似文献

This study evaluates changes in metabolite levels in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases vs. patients with liver cirrhosis by analysis of human blood plasma using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Untargeted metabolomic analysis of plasma samples from participants recruited in Egypt was performed using two GC-MS platforms: a GC coupled to single quadruple mass spectrometer (GC-qMS) and a GC coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (GC-TOFMS). Analytes that showed statistically significant changes in ion intensities were selected using ANOVA models. These analytes and other candidates selected from related studies were further evaluated by targeted analysis in plasma samples from the same participants as in the untargeted metabolomic analysis. The targeted analysis was performed using the GC-qMS in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The method confirmed significant changes in the levels of glutamic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, valine, isoleucine, leucine, alpha tocopherol, cholesterol, and sorbose in HCC cases vs. patients with liver cirrhosis. Specifically, our findings indicate up-regulation of metabolites involved in branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism. Although BCAAs are increasingly used as a treatment for cancer cachexia, others have shown that BCAA supplementation caused significant enhancement of tumor growth via activation of mTOR/AKT pathway, which is consistent with our results that BCAAs are up-regulated in HCC. 相似文献

New method for GC/FID and GC-C-IRMS analysis of plasma free fatty acid concentration and isotopic enrichment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A simple, direct and accurate method for the determination of concentration and enrichment of free fatty acids (FFAs) in human plasma was developed. The validation and comparison to a conventional method are reported. Three amide derivatives, dimethyl, diethyl and pyrrolidide, were investigated in order to achieve optimal resolution of the individual fatty acids. This method involves the use of dimethylamine/Deoxo-Fluor to derivatize plasma free fatty acids to their dimethylamides. This derivatization method is very mild and efficient, and is selective only towards FFAs so that no separation from a total lipid extract is required. The direct method gave lower concentrations for palmitic acid and stearic acid and increased concentrations for oleic acid and linoleic acid in plasma as compared to methyl ester derivative after thin-layer chromatography. The [(13)C]palmitate isotope enrichment measured using direct method was significantly higher than that observed with the BF(3)/MeOH-TLC method. The present method provided accurate and precise measures of concentration as well as enrichment when analyzed with gas chromatography combustion-isotope ratio-mass spectrometry. 相似文献

The determination by gas chromatography (GC) of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) prepared from complex biological samples is subject to interference from cholesterol. During sample injection on the GC system of FAMEs prepared from tissues that contain cholesterol, we observed a major contaminant that co-eluted with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3). To address this problem, FAMEs were purified on an amino-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) column using a hexane–isopropanol gradient. The HPLC retention times for both the FAME fraction and cholesterol were stable and reproducible when the amino column was used for sample purification. The purified extracts were analyzed by GC without artifacts or impurity peaks after 50 analytical runs. The method described here will be useful for measurement of 22:6n-3 and other fatty acids important for studies of nutrition or pathology. 相似文献

The concentration of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) (straight chain, more than 22 carbon atoms) in plasma or in cultured fibroblasts is one of the most important diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of the peroxisomal disorders. A sensitive method for VLCFA assay in plasma, using small sample volume and a simplified procedure, is described. After adequate extraction and derivatization, methyl esters of VLCFA are separated, identificated and quantified by gas chromatography—mass spectrometry (GC—MS). The method is sensitive, reproducible, accurate and relatively simple. GC—MS equipment used for routine organic acid analysis can be used. 相似文献

An innovative online VFA monitoring system for the anerobic process, based on headspace gas chromatography 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A new method for online measurement of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in anerobic digesters has been developed based on headspace gas chromatography (HSGC). The method applies ex situ VFA stripping with variable headspace volume and gas analysis by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID). In each extraction, digester sample was acidified with H(3)PO(4) and NaHSO(4), then heated to strip the VFA into the gas phase. The gas was sampled in a low friction glass syringe before injected into the GC for measurement. The system has been tested for online monitoring of a lab-scale CSTR reactor treating manure for more than 6 months and has shown good agreement with off-line analysis. The system is capable of measuring individual VFA components. This is of advantage since specific VFA components such as propionic and butyric acid can give extra information about the process status. Another important advantage of this sensor is that there is no filtration, which makes possible application in high solids environments. The system can thus be easily applied in a full-scale biogas reactor by connecting the system to the liquid circulation loop to obtain fresh sample from the reactor. Local calibration is needed but automatic calibration is also possible using standard addition method. Sampling duration is 25-40 min, depending on the washing duration, and sensor response is 10 min. This is appropriate for full-scale reactors, since dynamics within most biogas reactors are of the order of several hours. 相似文献

Measurements of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) concentration and isotopic enrichment are commonly used to evaluate FFA metabolism. Until now, gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS) was the best method to measure isotopic enrichment in the methyl derivatives of 13C-labeled fatty acids. Although IRMS is excellent for analyzing enrichment, it requires time-consuming derivatization steps and is not optimal for measuring FFA concentrations. We developed a new, rapid, and reliable method for simultaneous quantification of 13C-labeled fatty acids in plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS). This method involves a very quick Dole extraction procedure and direct injection of the samples on the HPLC system. After chromatographic separation, the samples are directed to the mass spectrometer for electrospray ionization (ESI) and analysis in the negative mode using single ion monitoring. By employing equipment with two columns connected parallel to a mass spectrometer, we can double the throughput to the mass spectrometer, reducing the analysis time per sample to 5 min. Palmitate flux measured using this approach agreed well with the GC/C/IRMS method. This HPLC/MS method provides accurate and precise measures of FFA concentration and enrichment. 相似文献

Background
Plasma fatty acid (FA) composition reflects dietary intake and endogenous turnover and is associated with health outcomes on a short and long term basis. The total plasma FA pool represents the composition of all FA containing lipid fractions. We developed a simplified and affordable high-throughput method for the analysis of total plasma FA composition, suitable for large studies.Methodology/Principal Findings
The total lipid FA from 100 µl plasma is transferred in situ into methyl esters, avoiding initial extraction and drying steps. The fatty acid methyl esters are extracted once and analyzed by gas chromatography. For the new direct in situ transesterification method optimal, reaction parameters were determined. Intra-assay analysis (n = 8) revealed coefficients of variation below 4% for FA contributing more than 1% to total FA.Conclusions/Significance
The results show good agreement with FA concentrations obtained by a reference method. The new direct in situ transesterification method is robust and simple. Sample preparation time and analysis costs are reduced to a minimum. This method is an economically and ecologically superior alternative to conventional methods for assessing plasma FA status in large studies. 相似文献14.
Several studies have shown that the fatty acid composition of circulating lipids reflects dietary fat intake, in turn being related to health status. The fatty acid composition of plasma lipids is therefore an important parameter in studies on dietary interventions. The aim of our study was to develop a rapid and inexpensive method for the analysis of circulating fatty acids applicable to large population groups. Drops of blood collected from fingertips have been directly subjected to transmethylation for gas chromatography analysis. This new method, validated for reproducibility, has been compared with the conventional method, based on withdrawal of blood from the antecubital vein followed by lipid extraction, and identical data have been obtained with the two techniques. Observed and predicted differences between blood and plasma fatty acids are related to the contribution of circulating cell membranes in blood. Finally the application of the methods to samples from 100 healthy subjects and the assessed correlation between dietary habits and blood fatty acid profiles demonstrate the validity of the new method and its applicability to nutritional and epidemiological studies. 相似文献

Following deproteinization of plasma with organic solvents the supernatant was shaken with hexane and cation-exchange resin in an Eppendorf tube to remove fatty and amino acids and the medium was subjected to direct treatment with ethyl chloroformate under catalytic influence of pyridine. A subsequent extraction of the immediately formed ethyl esters with a drop of chloroform enabled us to subject the sample to gas chromatographic (GC) analysis. Since ketocarboxylic acids do not require a preliminary oximation the total time of sample workup and analysis takes only several minutes. 相似文献

Pyrolysis–gas chromatography (Py–GC) combined with on-line methylation was applied to a correlation analysis between the distributions of fatty acid components in the lipids of zooplankter individuals and those of ingested algae using principal component analysis (PCA). Py–GC in the presence of organic alkali, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), was used to estimate the apparent distributions of fatty acid components contained in a single individual zooplankter weighing several tens of micrograms and a small sample size of ingested algae samples in the order of 10 μg. The observed fatty acid compositions were used as a database for the PCA in order to discriminate the zooplankton and ingested algae samples. The result obtained indicated that the fatty acid compositions of zooplankton individuals used in this work were significantly reflected in those of their ingested food in spite of some contribution from isomerization and/or elongation of fatty acid components during digestion of the ingested algae phytoplankton in living zooplankters. 相似文献

Gas chromatography (GC) is a highly sensitive method used to identify and quantify the fatty acid content of lipids from tissues, cells, and plasma/serum, yielding results with high accuracy and high reproducibility. In metabolic and nutrition studies GC allows assessment of changes in fatty acid concentrations following interventions or during changes in physiological state such as pregnancy. Solid phase extraction (SPE) using aminopropyl silica cartridges allows separation of the major lipid classes including triacylglycerols, different phospholipids, and cholesteryl esters (CE). GC combined with SPE was used to analyze the changes in fatty acid composition of the CE fraction in the livers of virgin and pregnant rats that had been fed various high and low fat diets. There are significant diet/pregnancy interaction effects upon the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid content of liver CE, indicating that pregnant females have a different response to dietary manipulation than is seen among virgin females. 相似文献

Validation of a new procedure to determine plasma fatty acid concentration and isotopic enrichment. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Assessment of free fatty acid (FFA) concentration and isotopic enrichment is useful for studies of FFA kinetics in vivo. A new procedure to recover the major FFA from plasma for concentration and isotopic enrichment measurements is described and validated. The procedure involves extraction of plasma lipids with hexane, methylation with iodomethane (CH(3)I) to form fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), and subsequent purification of FAME by solid phase extraction (SPE) chromatography. The new method was compared with a traditional method using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) to recover plasma FFA, with subsequent methylation by BF(3)/methanol. The TLC method was found to be less reliable than the new CH(3)I method because of contamination with extraneous fatty acids, chemical fractionation of FFA species, and incomplete recovery of FFA associated with TLC. In contrast, the CH(3)I/SPE method was free of contamination, did not exhibit chemical fractionation, and had higher recovery. The iodomethane reaction was specific for free fatty acids; no FAME were formed when esterified fatty acids (triglycerides, cholesteryl esters, phospholipids) were subjected to the methylation reaction.We conclude that the CH(3)I/SPE method provides rapid and convenient recovery of plasma fatty acids for quantification or GC/MS analysis as methyl esters, and is not subject to the problems of contamination, reduced recovery, and chemical fractionation associated with recovery of FFA by TLC. 相似文献

A new sample processing workflow that uses high intensity focused ultrasound to rapidly reduce and alkylate cysteines, digest proteins and then label peptides with (18)O was developed for quantitative proteomics applications. Each step was individually refined to minimize reaction times, peptide loses and undesired byproducts or modifications. When this novel workflow was used, mouse plasma proteins were successfully denatured, alkylated, in-solution digested, and (18)O-labeled in <10 min for subsequent analysis by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization high resolution mass spectrometry. Performance was evaluated in terms of the number of mouse plasma peptides and proteins identified in a shotgun approach and the quantitative dynamic range. The results were compared with previously published results obtained using conventional sample preparation methods and were found to be similar. Advantages of the new method include greatly simplified and accelerated sample processing, as well as being readily amenable to automation. 相似文献
