Semi-automated micro-scale extraction apparatus for assay of free fatty acids in plasma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the use of a semi-automated micro-scale extraction apparatus as applied to the assay of free fatty acids in plasma. With it, a smaller plasma sample is required, disposable glassware can replace acid-washed glassware, and the number of samples that one technican can assay per day is increased fivefold. Theroretically, this apparatus can be applied to all assay procedures requiring one or more extraction steps.

متن کاملA rapid, automated micromethod for measuring free fatty acids in plasma/serum.
The investigation of mobilization and utilization of fat as fuel in human subjects requires the quantification of free fatty acids (FFA) in the circulating plasma. Methods in current use involve tedious extraction and titration, or enzymatic reaction with colorimetric or fluorometric detections. A rapid and reliable micro-technique is needed. We have adapted the manual enzymatic method of the W...
متن کاملThe Effects of Simvastatin on Free Fatty Acids Profile in Fructose-fed Insulin Resistant Rats
Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease and free fatty acids, as signaling molecules, can play a crucial role in the development of it. Different free fatty acids, through various cell membrane receptors, induce different effects on metabolic pathways and thereby affect insulin sensitivity. Simvastatin is a cholesterol decreasing drug prescrib...
متن کاملSemi-automated method for the determination of free fatty acids in plasma.
A semi-automated method for the determination of free fatty acids in plasma based on Mosinger's manual method (Mosinger, 1965) is described and the results of a comparison with Dole's titrimetric method (Dole, 1956) are presented. There is almost perfect correlation between the two methods, and the automated technique is simple, reliable, and significantly more accurate and precise than the tit...
