Course description: Emphasis is placed on laboratory work which will give students the knowledge and skills
basic techniques of isolation, separation and identification of lipid and lipoprotein physiological and pathological
states in biological samples. By default theme with the help of stakeholders and collaborators Course
to analyze the biological sample, and the results compared and discussed with the searched
literature
The aim of the course is to provide students with the knowledge necessary for independent laboratory analysis in
lipid and lipoprotein biological samples with application in endocrinology, the diagnosis of hereditary
diseases, immunology, physiology, molecular biology, genetics, pharmacogenetics and
cardiovascular medicine. The course covers the practical part of the course of biological / biochemical
separation methods in the analysis of lipids and lipoproteins, and includes a planned introduction, discussion principles
separation and purification of biomolecules strategy and instrumental analysis techniques lipids and
lipoproteins.
Lipids il lipoproteins: structure and site: Fatty acids; The most simple lipids and
lipoproteins and complex glycerophospholipids in the tissues; sphingolipids; The composition of lipids and lipoproteins
animal tissues;
Extraction, storage and handling of specimens: Practical Proposals (storage tissue
preliminary treatments prior to extraction, minimizing auto-oxidation, lipid storage
extract, pollutants and noise during extraction, poisons); The principles of the extraction process
solvents; Preferred methods of extraction (method by Folch-in method by Lees and Stanley,
Method according to Bligh and Dyer, special cases, chromatographic analysis of lipids);
Chromatographic and electrophoretic analysis of lipids and lipoproteins: general principles: Mode of separation
for chromatography; Gas chromatography and electrophoresis; High performance liquid chromatography
effectiveness; Thin-layer chromatography; Supercritical fluid chromatography; mass
spectrometry;
Analysis of fatty acid: Preparation of derivatives of fatty acids; Gas chromatographic analysis
fatty acid derivatives; Isolation and identification of fatty acids by spectroscopic and chemical
degradable techniques;
Analysis of molecular species of lipids and lipoproteins: Triacylglycerols, diacylglycerols derived from
complex and related lipids; Phospholipids and glycolipids; related lipids and lipoproteins .
