A simple procedure for rapid transmethylation of glycerolipids and cholesteryl esters.
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple procedure suitable for rapid transmethylation of triacylglycerols, other neutral lipids (including cholesteryl esters), and glycerophospholipids is described. Lipids in diethyl ether solution (50 volumes), in the presence of methyl acetate (1 vol), are reacted with 1 M sodium methoxide in methanol (1 vol) at room temperature. Essentially complete transmethylation can occur within a few minutes with no hydrolysis. Glassware and reagent requirements are minimal and samples are ready for gas-liquid chromatography analysis with very little work-up.

Incorporation of defined cholesteryl esters into lipoproteins using cholesteryl ester-rich microemulsions.
Cholesteryl ester transfer to low density lipoproteins (LDL) was achieved either by incubation of a cholesteryl ester-rich lipid microemulsion with whole plasma or by incubation of the cholesteryl ester-rich microemulsion with lipoprotein-free plasma and LDL. Sequential ultracentrifugal isolation gave LDL that contained between 5 and 37% of the cholesteryl ester derived from the artificial chol...
متن کاملSelective labelling of hepatic fatty acids in vivo. Studies on the synthesis and secretion of glycerolipids in the rat.
1. We describe a method for the selective labelling of hepatic fatty acids in the rat in vivo. It relies on (i) the rapid and preferential uptake of cholesteryl ester from chylomicron and/or very-low-density-lipoprotein remnants by the liver [Holder, Zammit & Robinson (1990) Biochem. J. 272, 735-741] (without prior exchange of the ester to other lipoproteins in the plasma), and (ii) the very sh...
متن کاملEvaluation of a high-performance liquid chromatography method for isolation and quantitation of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters.
A rapid method for the separation and quantitation of unesterified cholesterol and cholesteryl esters by high-performance liquid chromatography is described. All of the cholesteryl esters typically present in plasma were resolved on Zorbax ODS reversed-phase columns using a linear gradient of water (3%-0%) in acetonitrile-tetrahydrofuran 65:35 (v/v) as eluting solvent. Results obtained by this ...
متن کاملAn improved method for quantification of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters in human monocyte-derived macrophages by high performance liquid chromatography with identification of unassigned cholesteryl ester species by means of secondary ion mass spectrometry.
The measurement of cholesteryl esters in human monocyte-derived macrophages using previously described high performance liquid chromatography methods is hampered by the presence in these cells of large amounts of triglycerides. We present a simple reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography protocol for quantification of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters in human monocyte/macrophages...
متن کاملIntravascular metabolism of the cholesteryl ester moiety of rat plasma lipoproteins.
The intravascular metabolism of the cholesteryl ester moiety of rat plasma LDL, HDL1, and HDL2 was determined in intact male rats. Biosynthetically labeled lipoproteins were prepared by zonal ultracentrifugation from the plasma of rats injected with [3H]cholesterol. The lipoproteins were concentrated by vacuum ultrafiltration as other procedures were found to alter the biological properties of ...
