Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and their oxidized products (oxylipins) are important mediators in intra- and extra-cellular signaling. We describe here the simultaneous quantification of 163 PUFAs and oxylipins using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The protocol details steps for PUFA purification from various biological materials, the conditions for LC-MS analysis, as well as quantitative approaches for data evaluation. We provide an example of PUFA quantification in animal tissue along with the bioinformatic protocol, enabling efficient inter-sample comparison and statistical analysis.
