Long-chain acyl-CoA's are important intermediates in fatty acid oxidation and phospholipid metabolism. For quantitative analysis of brain acyl-CoA's, and to avoid decomposition due to high brain acyl-CoA hydrolase activity, a fast and efficient analytical method was developed for isolation and deter

β¦ Synopsis
A simple procedure for determining radiolabeled long-chain acyl-CoA levels in isolated rat hepatocytes has been developed. It consists of a classical extraction of long-chain acyl-CoAs after preliminary removal of the excess labeled free fatty acid. A two-step TLC purification ensures elimination of long-chain acylcarnitine, the main interferent in most methods, and other common lipids. The purity of the acyl-CoA was confirmed by a second TLC system and by spectral analysis. Overall recovery was approximately 70%.
