5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), the common precursor of all naturally occurring tetrapyrroles, forms a stable condensation product with 2-amino-3-hydroxynaphthafene which can be identified by its fluorescence. Separation of the compound by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography on RPC-18
Branched-chain ketoacids were isolated from plasma or serum samples by acidification, passage through a cationic exchange resin, ether extraction, and extraction of the ether layer with phosphate buffer. The recovery of 2-[ l-14C]ketoisocaproate taken through these procedures averaged 95 + 3%. Branc
