METHODS FOR LIPID ANALYSIS

Since the early 1930's the field of lipid re- search has grown tremendously. In conjunction with the expansion of our knowledge of lipids, many methods for the determination of these constituents have been published at a pace which makes it difficult for the investigator to keep abreast of developments. This bibliography was compiled in order that references to the many methods might be brought together and made more readily available.

No effort has been made to include papers wherein the method of choice is "standard" or

only slightly modified, or those referred to in the "New Methods" section of the Journal of Lipid Research. Of the methods published before 1930, only the classical ones have been included. The papers are listed alphabetically by first author. Chemical Abstract numbers are included for the less common journals.

The author wishes to thank Dr. Charles G. Wilber and Mr. Paul F. Robinson of the Army Chemical Center for their many helpful sugges- tions .

1952. A simplified method for the esti- mation of total cholesterol in serum and demonstration of its specificity. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 195: 357-366. Serum is treated with alcoholic KOH to hydrolyze the cholesterol esters, the freed cholesterol is extracted into petro- leum ether, and an aliquot of the extract is used for determination of cholesterol by the Liebermann-Burchard color reac- tion.

It is shown by counter -current distri- bution that only about 2% of the material determined as cholesterol by this method is other material. The Schoenheimer- Sperry method produced the same results.

1953. A chemical method for the deter- mination of free choline in plasma. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 205: 803-813. The method involves extraction of

choline into acetone, evaporation of the acetone, and removal of interfering matter with butanol . After precipitation of choline as enneaiodide, the precipitate is dissolved in ethylene dichloride and measured spectro- photometrically at 365 mp.. As little as 5

jUg. of choline is estimated. The method ap- pears to be specific when used for plasma choline, but material other than choline is

also assayed when the method is used for urine or tissue analyses. Adsorbed iodine does not interfere.

Best, M., E.J. VanLoon, J. D. Wathem, and A.J. Seger 1954. Comparison of serum cholesterol methods. American Journal of Medi- cine, 16: 601.

Serum cholesterol was determined by the methods of Schoenheimer-Sperry (Jour- nal of Biological Chemistry, 106: 745, 1934); Abell, et al (Journal of Biological Chemistry, 195: 357, 1952); Gershberg-Forbes (Jour- nal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 27: 1439, 1942); modified Pearson, et al (Analyt- ical Chemistry, 25: 813, 1953); and Zlatkis, Zak, and Boyle (Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 41: 486, 1953). The Abell, et al, and Schoenheimer-Sperry methods agreed closely. When compared to the Abell method, the values of the Gershberg-Forbes, Pearson, and Zlatkis methods were higher by 15, 35, and 90 mg. percent, respective- ly. Since an alcohol -acetone extract of se- rum yields similar results by the Schoen- heimer-Sperry and^Zlatkis methods while the Zlatkis method yields values of 90 mg. percent higher when used directly on the same serum, it is suggested that the Zlatkis method measures a non-extractable lipid of protein as well as cholesterol.

Acetone-MgCl2 precipitation gives good separation of phospholipids, with about 1% of the phospholipids dissolving in the solu- tion. MgO chromatography gives phospho- Upid-free neutral fat, but poorer purity of phospholipid, and cannot separate free fatty acids from choline -containing phospho- lipids. Non -choline -containing phospho- lipids are not recoverable unchanged. Silic- ic acid chromatography is slower than

acetone -MgCl2 precipitation, but gives best all-around results; neutral fat and free fatty acids are eluted quantitatively with CHCI3, and phospholipids with MeOH.

Silicic acid chromatography is used for separation of cholesterol esters from glyc- erides and free fatty acids. Free fatty acids are separated from glycerides in ab- sence of lower glycerides by extraction of the acids from a petroleum ether solution with alkaline 50% ethanol . In the presence of lower glycerides which would be extract- ed into the alcoholic solution, IRA -400 ion exchanger is used to separate the free fatty acids from the glycerides .

1933 . A differential lipid analysis of ^ blood plasma in normal young women

by microoxidative methods . Journal " of Biological Chemistry, 101: 323-336.

The oxidative procedure is recommended for determination of various lipids in the same extract as it eliminates the possibil- ity of summation of errors by using differ- ent methods.

Bloor's method (Journal of Biological Chemistry, 77: 53, 1928) is used to deter- mine total fatty acids after saponification of the lipids (99% recovery of known solu- tions and reproducibility of + 2%), and mod- ifications of Yasuda's method (Journal of Biological Chemistry, 92: 303, 1931) for oxidation of cholesterol digitonide (stock determinations reproducible + 2%). Con- firms observations that 1/2 hour heating is necessary for complete oxidation. Boyd's modifications (Journal of Biological Chemistry, 91_: 1, 1931) of Bloor's method are used for phospholipid determination. Free cholesterol is estimated after remov- al of phospholipid. The method checks within experimental error with values from direct precipitation from alcohol-ether ex- tract (96% recovery with + 4.5% agreement on duplicates).

Boyd found difficulty in Okey's method (Journal of Biological Chemistry, 88: 36 7^ 1930) for oxidative determination of choles- terol as the digitonide with respect to repro- ducibility and accuracy. Phospholipids are saponified with NaOH before determination of iodine numbers of phospholipid fatty acids, as direct determinations on whole phospho- lipid according to Yasuda (Journal of Biolog- ical Chemistry, 94: 401, 1931-2) gave erra- tic and variable results .

1946. The microdetermination of serine and ethanolamine in phospholipide hydro - A lysates. Journal of Biological Chemis -

Ethanolamine and serine are determined by microdiffusion of the ammonia produced by periodate in a solution nearly saturated with potassium metaborate. Cephalin nitro- gen can be measured by this method in the presence of all the known components of phospholipid acid hydrolysates . It is a more specific measure of cephalin than the HNO2 method of Van Slyke (Journal of Biological Chemistry, 16:121, 1913-14). No indication was found of the reaction of hydroxylamine with periodate to form NH3 which Nicolet (Journal of the American Chemical Society, 6J.: 1615, 1939; Journal of Biological Chem- istry, 139: 687, 1941) described.

Obtained a better yield than Ramsey (Bio- chemical Journal, 35: 39, 1941), since Ram- sey's addition of K2CO3 to acid solution causes generation of heat and evolution of CO2 and some destruction of NH3 by the hot acid periodate .

A method is described for the separation of serum lipids by chromatography on silic- ic acid impregnated paper. The phospho- lipids are first separated by chromatography with a Et20-petroleum ether -Me2CO(2: 100:50) solvent mixture, and the glycerides, ster- oids, and cholesterol are then separated by using Et20-petroleum ether -heptane (4:50:50).

The theory is advanced that the dig- itonin method may give higher values due to splitting of loosely bound cholesterol or the precipitation of some form of combined cholesterol other than fatty acid esters .

The values for Bloor's oxidative technique (Journal of Biological Chemistry, 82: 273, 1929) were found to be variable and also 50% or more below values obtained by the lipid phosphorus method (method not stated). The values for phospholipid found in the final moist ether (or chloroform) solution after the purification steps of Bloor, however.

18

were in good agreement whether obtained by the oxidative procedure or by multiply- ing the phosphorus present by the factor 25. It was found that the temperature of evapora- tion of the alcohol -ether extract affects the solubility of the phospholipids in petroleum ether; therefore the use of a vacuum and temperature of less than 50° is recommend- ed for the evaporation. CHCI3 dissolves the phospholipid-MgCl2 precipitate as well as moist ether, giving more consistent results and requiring less time for solution. Alco- hol-ether extracts of plasma, when stored for several months gave ratios of lipid phos- phorus, phospholipid, and phospholipid fatty acid no lower than extracts used a few days after preparation .

Choline was extracted from biological material by continuous extraction with meth- anol, which is claimed to be the most ef- fective solvent (obtained recoveries within 1.5% of theoretical) . (Brante (Acta physio - logjca Scandinavia,^- supplement 63, 1949) states that ethanol-ether (3:1) is just as ef- fective as methanol). The extract was con- centrated and hydrolyzed with Ba(OH)p at 100° C. (100° was used since the tempera-* ture of 80° suggested by Jacobi (Journal of Biological Chemistry, 138: 571, 1941) fail- ed to give consistent results.) Choline was determined as the reineckate by colorimetry. The incidence of kidney hemmorhage in rats was also used as an indication of the quantity of choline and choline-like materials in bio- logical test diets, and showed sensitivity to a variation of 10% of the materials .

Analyses of tissue by determination of lipid phosphorus, by oxidation of the fatty acids from acetone -insoluble lipids, and by direct oxidation of the intact phospholipid are compared.

When a phospholipid to phosphorus ratio of 24 is used, and a fatty acid recovery of 63% of the weight of the saponified phospho- lipid was assumed, the three methods gave comparable results. Phosphorus analysis, however, gave better agreement among replicate samples (error + 0.8%) than either of the oxidative procedures studied (error + 2.2% and + 2.1%).

The author cautions against the use of conversion factors on mixtures of different types of phospholipid.

Values obtained by isolation of the sphingo- myelin were too low; and those obtained by the Reineckate method were too high, but there was general agreement in thg two meth- ods.

1940. Determination of total and free cholesterol in blood serum . Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 25:

996-1001. ~

A method is described for determination of cholesterol in blood serum by precipita- tion with" digitonin directly on the lipid ex- tract and colorimetric measurement by the Liebermann-Burchard method. Saponifica- tion is unnecessary as the concentration of ester cholesterol in serum is constant. Ace- tic anhydride is used as solvent for the cho- lesterol standard as it gives a more stable solution than chloroform .

Sobel (Journal of Biological Chemistry, 157: 255, 1945) found the method in agree- ment with the Schoenheimer-Sperry method.

After alcohol-ether (3:1) extraction, ali- quots of the extract are used for determina- tion of lipid constituents . Total lipids are estimated by determination of total non- vol- atile carbon. Cholesterol is determined by combustion of the digitonide. Phospho- lipids are estimated as phosphoric acid by precipitation as strychnine phosphomolyb- date and determination of carbon in the pre- cipitate .

The maximum temperature of 60° was found to be critical in the evaporation of the alcohol-ether extract, as reextraction with petroleum ether was incomplete if a higher evaporation temperature was used.

Acetone -MgCU precipitates all but 2 to 3% of the phospholipids, but all the precip- itated phospholipid is not soluble in moist ether.

1944. Determination of the iodine niim- ber of whole phospholipid. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 152: 97-102. When chloroform was used to dissolve phospholipid which had been precipitated with acetone and MgCl2 (Yasuda, Journal of Biological Chemistry, ^: 410, 1931-32) the iodine numbers of the phospholipid were erratic. Reliable iodine numbers were obtained when the chloroform solu- tion of phospholipid was evaporated to dry- ness and the phospholipid redissolved in chloroform. Reliable iodine numbers were also obtained when chloroform -ether (1:1) or moist ether were used as solvents, but neither was as good a solvent for the phos- pholipid as chloroform. It is suggested that the erratic values with the original chloroform solution are due to the forma- tion of a phospholipid-MgCl2 complex which is partially soluble in chloroform .

Seattle's method (Biochemical Journal, 30: 1554, 1936) was modified as follows: 1) 60% acetone in water was used to dissolve the reineckate, eliminating the problems of evaporation caused by use of acetone alone . Lower concentrations of acetone did not dis- solve the salt completely, or else gave rise to a precipitate on standing. 2) The choline reineckate was precipitated by a 20 minute immersion in ice water, as precipitation was found to be complete under those condi- tions.

A new method for the determination of choline was proposed, based on the precip- itation of choline as the reineckate and col- orimetric determination of the chromium in the precipitate, which is sensitive to 15 yuLg. of choline. See also: Lovern, Chemis- try and Industry, 707, 1950.

Phospholipid esters are converted to hy- droxamic acids, and the color produced with acid ferric perchlorate is read" spectro- photometrically at 530 m/i . The sensitivity can be increased by decreasing the amount of ferric perchlorate added. As little as 20 jj-g. of phospholipid can be measured by the method.

Complete precipitation was achieved on addition of 1 drop of saturated or 0.1 cc . of 30% MgCl,-6H20 in 95% ethanol. Addi- tion of more MgCl2 caused incomplete pre- cipitation. WhenMgCl2 was not used for precipitation, all of the tissue phospholipid and most of the plasma phospholipid precip- itated were soluble in moist ether. The percentage of ether -insoluble phospholipid precipitate increased in proportion to the amount of MgCl2 used, up to about 20% for the tissue phospholipid, and 90% for the plasma phospholipid. The ether -insoluble portion was found to be a portion of the to- tal phospholipid mixture, and not simply the sphingomyelins.

Choline is liberated by hydrolysis with gaseous HCl in methanol and determined as the reineckate.

The value of lecithin is calculated as the difference in sphingomyelin and choline values, and cephalin is calculated as the difference in total and choline -containing phospholipids .

41: 486-492. A sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and ferric chloride reagent is added directly to a 0. 1 ml. sample of serum and the color is read spectrophotometrically at 400-700 m/.i. Cholesterol and cholesterol esters yield the same molar color, thus eliminating the need for saponification . The method compares well with other methods, and is rapid and reproducible.

1948. A convenient and rapid procedure for total cholesterol estimation using an acid chloroform extraction. Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 33: 1322-1325. Sulfuric acid and chloroform are added to the serum sample and mixed. The sample is centrifuged and the acid and precipitated protein are removed. Acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid are added to an aliquot of the chloroform solution and the color is read at 625 m^^. The method requires about 45 min- utes . Results are comparable to those ob- tained by Bloor's extraction method.
