Abstract We compared a modified enzymic continuous-flow method for serum triglycerides, in which a microbial lipase is used without protease, to an extraction-fluorometric method. Results (for total--blank) correlated well with those by the comparison procedure: enzymic = 1.002 fluorometric--14 mg/liter; r = 0.9968. Serum blanks were measured for each sample in both methods, and the concentration of free glycerol measured by the enzymic method was shown to be as much as 15 to 71% of the total triglyceride result in 7% of the samples analyzed. The dual-channel continuous-flow system provides automatic free-glycerol blank subtraction for the enzymic method.

Abstract We describe a fully enzymic method for manual and continuous-flow colorimetric assay of triacylglycerols (triglycerides) in serum. Triglycerides are enzymically hydrolyzed in 10 min by lipase and microbial esterase. The resulting free glycerol is measured enzymically by glycerol kinase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The NADH so formed is oxidized by coupling with a tetrazolium salt/diaphorase system. The test follows Beer's law to 8 g/L, and the final color is stable for at least 1 h for serum, 15 min for aqueous triolein standards. The manual assay requires only 25 microliter of serum and few manipulations. A specific triolein standard was developed for calibrating the manual method. For the continuous-flow method, calibration is made with four concentrations of glycerol standard. The procedure is sensitive, has good precision and accuracy, and gives results that compare well with chemical and enzymic commercial kit methods.

Abstract Clearance of 0-100 mg/L concentrations of galactose from the blood depends on nutrient hepatic blood flow. We can measure such concentrations, which was not previously possible, by a continuous-flow method involving the use of galactose oxidase and peroxidase, the latter being coupled to a fluorogenic substrate, p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. Interfering substances in the peroxidase reaction are removed by zinc/alkali precipitation. Sensitivity is maximized by using saturating concentrations of the enzymes and substrate. In prepared plasma test samples with galactose concentrations of 10, 40, 70, and 100 mg/L, the within-run CV's ranged from 2.1 to 8.6%, and day-to-day CV's from 2.2 to 17.2%, the largest CV's being for the 10 mg/L concentration. Normal subjects are shown to clear galactose more efficiently than subjects with moderate cirrhosis.
