A rapid and sensitive enzymatic-radiochemical assay for the determination of triglycerides
JC Khoo, E Miller and DI Goldberg
An enzymatic-radiochemical method suitable for the determination of
triglyceride levels of cells in culture is described. The method is based
on the enzymatic hydrolysis of triglycerides to free fatty acids which then
complex with 63Ni. The method is rapid, accurate, and inexpensive. The
procedure extends the sensitivity of triglyceride measurement to as low as
0.25 nanomoles.
