✦ Synopsis


Semi-selective 800 MHz 1H, 13C HSQC NMR spectra provide ultra-high resolution of the double bond region of lipid spectra and the possibility of assigning signals to individual unsaturated fatty acid side-chains such as 18 : 1, 18 : 2 or 20 : 4 even in complex mixtures such as bioΓ‘uids. Additional HSQC-TOCSY spectra correlate the direct double bond signals with the adjacent allylic high-Ðeld proton signals of mono-and polyunsaturated fatty acids. These signals show characteristic chemical shifts to di †erentiate unsaturated fatty acids such as 18 : 1, 18 : 2 and 20 : 4 (or others). By this means, the amount of each type of unsaturated fatty acid can be quantiÐed. Typical lipid spectra of body Γ‘uids (blood plasma and cerebrospinal Γ‘uid) and pig brain (grey and white matter) are presented and discussed with respect to the use of this technique for diagnostic purposes.

## Background: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-6) are reported to selectively kill malignant cells. most investigations, however, did not compare neoplastic with non-neoplastic cells from the same tissue type. here we evaluate the effects of n-6 fatty acids on a non-neoplastic epithelium cell line (
