A method for the measurement of organic acids in human plasma is presented. The analytical procedure consists of plasma protein precipitation with acetonitrile, acid extraction by chromatography through a DEAE-cellulose column eluted with 100 mM perchloric acid, HPLC by cation-exchange column Aminex HPX-87 eluted with 6.5 mM sulfuric acid. Adipic, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric, 2-oxoglutaric, and citric acids were determined in the plasma of diabetic patients. The concentrations of all the measured acids, but particularly those of adipic and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acids, were significantly higher than those of healthy controls. These results suggest that in diabetics the omega-oxidation of fatty acids is enhanced.
本文介绍了一种测量人体血浆中有机酸的方法。分析过程包括用乙腈沉淀血浆蛋白,通过用100 mM高氯酸洗脱的DEAE-纤维素柱进行色谱酸萃取,用6.5 mM硫酸洗脱的阳离子交换柱Aminex HPX-87进行高效液相色谱分析。在糖尿病患者的血浆中测定了己二酸、3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酸、2-氧代戊二酸和柠檬酸。所有测量酸的浓度,尤其是己二酸和3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酸的浓度,均显著高于健康对照组。这些结果表明,糖尿病患者中脂肪酸的ω-氧化增强。
