摘要

An accurate capillary gas-chromatographic method with trinonadecanoylglycerol as internal standard for determining triacylglycerols in human serum and other biological sources is described. After serum extraction, total triacylglycerol and triacylglycerol species (differing in the number of carbon atoms in the acyl radicals) are directly determined without any further sample manipulation. In addition, from the same gas-chromatographic run the data obtained by the integrator record are compared with those of a computer data acquisition system. Evaluation of the triacylglycerol values resulted in a coefficient of variation (CV) of 2.08% (computer evaluation). Simultaneous evaluation of data obtained from tripalmitoylglycerol and tristearoylglycerol standards resulted in CV of 2.04 and 1.99%, respectively (computer evaluation), and 6.63 and 4.84%, respectively (integrator evaluation). Gas chromatography at lower elution temperature resulted in better separations but enhanced CV values up to about 4%. Triacylglycerol values were not influenced by storage of plasma at -20 degrees C up to 4 days prior to extraction.
