25
Q

CDC REFERENCE METHOD FOR CHOLESTEROL
MEASUREMENT

A

Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometry (GC-MS)

26
Q

TRADITIONAL REFERENCE METHOD FOR
CHOLESTEROL

A

Abell, Levy and Brodie Method

27
Q

enzymatic methods for measuring cholesterol

A

cholesterol oxidase rxn

28
Q

interference for enzymatic method of measuring total cholesterol

A
  • ascorbic acid, bilirubin, hgb
  • ascorbic acid: ↑ascorbic acid ↓ TC
  • bilirubin: oxidized by H2O2
  • hemoglobin: has pseudo-peroxidase activity that diminish H2O2 produced in the cholesterol oxidase rxn
29
Q
  • Uses hexane extraction / petroleum ether after
    hydrolysis with alcoholic KOH followed by reaction with
    Liebermann-Burchardt color reagent
  • EC: green
A

Abell, Levy and Brodie Method

30

32
Q

specimen for TAG measurement

A

either plasma or serum

33
Q

CDC Reference Method for TAG Measurement

  • enzyme method
36
Q

chemical methods for measuring TAG

A
  1. colorimetric method - Van Handel and Zilversmith
  2. fluorometric method - Hantzsch Condensation
37
Q

Van Handel and Zilversmith
(colorimetric)

A
  • TAG + KOH → Glycerol + Fatty Acid
  • Glycerol + Periodate → Formic Acid + Formaldehyde
  • Formaldehyde + Chromotropic Acid → Chromogen
38
Q

Hantzsch Condensation
(fluorometric)

A
  • TAG + KOH → Fatty Acids + Glycerol
  • Glycerol + Periodate → Formic acid + Formaldehyde
  • HCHO + Diethyl acetone + NH3 → Diacetyl Lutidine Compound
39
Q

Involves liberation of fatty acids from cholesterol, from
triglycerides and KOH

A

Hantzsch Condensation

40
Q

enzymatic methods for measuring TAG

A
  • Glycerol Kinase Method
41
Q

Reaction A for Glycerol Kinase Method

A
  • TAG + Lipase → Glycerol + Fatty acid
  • Glycerol + ATP + Glycerol Kinase → Glycerolphosphate +ADP
  • ADP + Phosphoenol pyruvate + Pyruvate Kinase → ATP + Pyruvate
  • Pyruvate + NADH + H ion + Lactate dehydrogenase → Lactate + NAD
42
Q

Reaction B for Glycerol KInase Method

A
  • TAG + Lipase → Glycerol + Fatty Acid
  • Glycerol + ATP + Glycerol Kinase → GlycerolPO4 + ADP
  • Glycerol PO4 + NAD + GlycerolPO4dehydrogenase → DihydroxyacetonePO4 + NADH
  • NADH + Tetrazolium dye + Diaphorase → Formasan + NAD+
