Abstract We compared Boehringer Mannheim's enzymatic kit for the continuous-flow (AutoAnalyzer II) determination of serum cholesterol with Technicon's N-24a extraction method. Results for patients' samples analyzed by the enzymatic method were higher than those by the comparison method. To evaluate accuracy in the cholesterol determinations, we enrolled the enzymatic method into the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) Lipid Standardization program. We calibrated the method by use of a pooled sera for which cholesterol content was assigned by CDC after analysis by their reference Abell-Kendall procedure. We discuss the difficulties with available calibration material and limitations in the application of some commercial control materials to the enzymatic cholesterol method. The continuous-flow variables, Michaelis-Menton constants, percent ester-hydrolase activity, and other factors affecting the performance of the enzyme-linked cholesterol method are evaluated. We believe pooled sera with an assigned value for cholesterol content is the best calibrator material.

Abstract An enzymatic method is described for determination of total serum cholesterol by use of a single aqueous reagent. The method requires no prior treatment of sample and the calibration curve is linear to 600 mg/dl. Cholesterol esters are hydrolyzed to free cholesterol by cholesterol ester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.13). The free cholesterol produced is oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to cholest-4-en-3-one with the simultaneous production of hydrogen peroxide, which oxidatively couples with 4-aminoantipyrine and phenol in the presence of peroxidase to yield a chromogen with maximum absorption at 500 nm. The method is reproducible, and the results correlate well with those obtained by automated Liebermann—Burchard procedures (AA-2 and SMA 12/60) and the method of Abell et al. The present method affords better specificity than those previously reported and has excellent precision.

Abstract We describe a fluorometric enzymatic method for determining total serum cholesterol, based on hydrolysis of cholesterol esters to free cholesterol by cholesterol ester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.13). The free cholesterol formed, as well as that initially present, is then oxidized by cholesterol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.6) to cholest-4-en-3-one with simultaneous production of hydrogen peroxide. The latter catalytically oxidizes homovanillic acid in the presence of peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) to form the highly fluorescent 2,2'-dihydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-biphenyl-5,5'-diacetic acid. A calibration curve is constructed from data on a series of standard cholesterol solutions vs. the corresponding fluorescence change (Δf/5 min). This curve is linear up to 4.0 g of total serum cholesterol per liter of serum. The method is specific, precise, accurate, rapid, and simple, and results correlate well with those obtained by both the Liebermann-Burchard procedure and the colorimetric enzymatic method (correlation coefficients, 0.984 and 0.981, respectively)

Abstract We have prepared a dry film for the enzymic determination of total serum cholesterol. It consists of a transparent support bearing a buffered gelatin layer, and a white reflective spreading layer that contains all of the necessary components for the detection of cholesterol. The method is based on (a) hydrolysis of cholesterol esters to cholesterol by cholesterol ester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.13), (b) oxidation of cholesterol to cholest-4-en-4-one and hydrogen peroxide by cholesterol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.6), and (c) oxidation of a triarylimidazole leuco dye with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) to produce a dye with maximum absorption at about 650 nm. For use over a wider range of concentration, the dye density is read at 540 nm. With reflection densitometry and appropriate mathematical transformation, readings and cholesterol concentrations are linearly related to 5500 mg/L. Results correlate well with those by the Abell-Kendall comparison method (slope 0.97, intercept 92.5, correlation coefficient 0.974, Sy.x = 250.7), and the method is precise (CV of 1.2-2.3% for a control fluid and patients' samples) and relatively free of interferences.

Liquid Chromatographic

A method for the direct determination of total serum cholesterol by on-column gas-liquid chromatography is described. The French reference method developed by Gambert et al.1 served as a model for our method, which is fast and less laborious than the well-known CDC reference method of Cooper et al.23 based on the Abell-Kendall technique.4 The accuracy and precision of our on-column gas-liquid chromatographic method and the CDC reference method are comparable. The obvious advantage of this proposed gas-liquid chromatographic reference method is its increased analytical speed. The problem of the specificity of our method in relation to cholestanol is discussed.
