Free and total fatty acids in the blood serum of patients with hyperlipoproteinemia have been analysed as their methyl esters by capillary gas chromatography using an FFAP column. In one-step reactions the free fatty acids in serum react with methanol-acetyl chloride (50:1, v/v) at 25 degrees C, the total fatty acids (free plus esterified) are transesterified with methanol-toluene-acetyl chloride (8:2:1, v/v) at 100 degrees C. The quantification of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is based on an internal standard (13,16,19-docosatrienoic acid) and on calibration standards. Under normal diet the concentrations of EPA and DHA are as follows (mean +/- S.D., n = 27): free EPA, 0.2 +/- 0.1 mg/dl; free DHA, 0.6 +/- 0.2 mg/dl; total EPA, 3.6 +/- 2.1 mg/dl; total DHA 11.4 +/- 3.1 mg/dl. Under a fish oil intake of 9 g per day, free and total EPA concentrations rise by ca. five- to six-fold, and free and total DHA concentrations by ca. two-fold.
