Differentiated Fatty Acids in plasma by detector MS

Differentiated Fatty Acids in plasma by detector MS (code  GC75010) – 100 tests package.

INSIGHTS
Fatty acids are biosynthesized in the human body from dietary fat, fat storage or endogenous lipids. Some polyunsaturated fatty acids cannot be biosynthesized through metabolic processes and need to be engaged under the diet. In order to prevent obesity and related metabolic disorders, as well as atherosclerotic and thromboembolic diseases it is necessary to analyze, quantify and monitor the concentration of long chain fatty acids in the plasma matrix. There are several studies linking high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids
omega-3 longchain (EPA and DHA) to a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular disease, the main cause of death in the world.

Principle of the Method:

This method allows to determine the fatty acids by GC / MS. The sample after extraction and washing, is treated with a derivatizing for 15 minutes at 100 °C; The solution, after various dilutions, is directly injected into the GC
