Oxylipins, a family of oxygenated natural products derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), play crucial roles in various physiological processes. Evaluating their levels in vivo helps to reveal their roles in health and disease. Because of the numerous isomers of oxylipins, it is essential to develop efficient and precise analytical methods for their identification and quantification. The objective of this study is to establish a quantitative method for oxylipin analysis and its application to the assessment of oxylipins in children's plasma, with potential implications for diagnostic use in pediatric populations. A liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to quantify 64 oxylipins and four precursor PUFAs within 36 min. The limits of quantification ranged from 0.25 to 50 pg, with most analytes showing recoveries and matrix effects between 85 and 110% and between 90 and 110%, respectively. Intra- and inter-day precision values were within 15%. The established method was applied to plasma samples from children aged 9-12 years (boys = 181; girls = 161) in Hokkaido, Japan, to assess the relation between plasma oxylipin and PUFA levels and age, sex, and body mass index. There was no significant correlation between oxylipin levels and age, sex, or body mass index. However, among the PUFAs, boys had higher eicosapentaenoic acid and arachidonic acid levels than those of girls, with a significant increase in eicosapentaenoic acid levels in the overweight group compared with those in the underweight group. We successfully developed a simple and highly selective method for the analysis of oxylipins in preadolescent children's plasma samples. Thus, this study provides a foundation for broader application of the developed method to different biological samples in future studies.
氧化脂质是一类源自多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFAs)的含氧天然产物,在各种生理过程中发挥着关键作用。评估其体内水平有助于揭示它们在健康和疾病中的作用。由于氧化脂质存在众多异构体,因此开发高效、精确的分析方法以进行其鉴定和定量至关重要。本研究的目的是建立一种氧化脂质分析的定量方法,并将其应用于儿童血浆中氧化脂质的评估,这对儿科人群的诊断应用可能具有重要意义。开发了一种液相色谱 - 电喷雾电离 - 串联质谱法,可在36分钟内对64种氧化脂质和4种前体PUFAs进行定量。定量限范围为0.25至50 pg,大多数分析物的回收率和基质效应分别在85%至110%和90%至110%之间。日内和日间精密度值均在15%以内。将所建立的方法应用于日本北海道9至12岁儿童(男孩 = 181名;女孩 = 161名)的血浆样本,以评估血浆氧化脂质与PUFA水平以及年龄、性别和体重指数之间的关系。氧化脂质水平与年龄、性别或体重指数之间无显著相关性。然而,在PUFAs中,男孩的二十碳五烯酸和花生四烯酸水平高于女孩,超重组的二十碳五烯酸水平与体重不足组相比有显著增加。我们成功开发了一种简单且高度选择性的方法,用于分析青春期前儿童血浆样本中的氧化脂质。因此,本研究为未来研究将所开发方法更广泛地应用于不同生物样本奠定了基础。
