The level of plasma non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) was measured by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and a titration method in 194 samples collected during pregnancy and from four days to 24 weeks post partum. Both techniques indicated a similar pattern of changes in plasma NEFA associated with pregnancy. The titration estimates of NEFA level were usually greater than those measured by GLC, and there was some suggestion that the disparity between the methods was increased at the end of pregnancy and was reduced at six weeks after delivery.

A capillary gas liquid chromatography method was established for the routine determination of fatty acid profiles from washed erythrocyte membranes. Only the five major fatty acids found in erythrocytes (palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and arachidonic acids) had acceptable precision (CVs <10·0%) for use in establishing quantitative differences between groups of individuals. Reference values were established for the relative amounts of these five fatty acids in adults. Significant alterations in the relative concentrations of oleic and arachidonic acids were found after storage at +4°C for 24 h, which has important implications in the study of changes in erythrocyte fatty acids in cancer and diabetes.

The total acidic products from the performic acid oxidation of the ozonide of methyl oleate formed in methanol may be esterified directly in a few hours with 2,2-dimethoxypropane. The ester concentrations are adequate for the determination of the positional isomers of monoethylenic fatty acids directly from the reaction mixture, using a hydrogen flame ionization gas–liquid chromatography detector. Dimethyl sulfoxide was not required to prevent the breakdown of 2,2-dimethoxypropane under the conditions employed.
