Plasma and serum samples were thawed on ice and 50 µl aliquots were mixed with 150 µl MeOH for protein precipitation. Samples were then centrifuged for 15 min at 15800×g. The supernatant was transferred to a new tube and then evaporated to complete dryness in a vacuum concentrator. Prior to LC-MS analysis, samples were reconstituted in 50 µl MeOH:H2O 1:1 and the two isotopically labelled internal standards phenylalanine (D5) and palmitic acid (D4) (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories) were added at a final concentration of 5 µM.
Palmitic acid d4
Palmitic acid (D4) is a stable isotopically labeled compound used as a research tool. It is a deuterium-labeled form of the common saturated fatty acid palmitic acid. Palmitic acid (D4) can be utilized in various analytical and experimental applications that require a labeled fatty acid compound.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
