G. Dacremont et G. Vincent, ASSAY OF PLASMALOGENS AND POLYUNSATURATED FATTY-ACIDS (PUFA) IN ERYTHROCYTES AND FIBROBLASTS, Journal of inherited metabolic disease, 18, 1995, pp. 84-89
The direct transesterification method of Lepage and Roy is described a
s used in our laboratory for the analysis of plasmalogens and polyunsa
turated fatty acids in erythrocytes and cultured fibroblasts by gas ch
romatography. An overview is given of the plasmalogen ratios and docos
ahexaenoic acid concentrations from controls and patients with differe
nt peroxisomal disorders investigated in our laboratory.
