ABSTRACT
A method is proposed for routine determination of fatty acids (FAs), including conjugated fatty
acids, in the liver of rats and sheep using gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and Ag+-HPLC. The
proposed procedure includes new methods for saponification carried out at room temperature and
extraction of free FAs. The obtained free FAs are methylated in an acid-base catalyzed procedure.
Due to simultaneous fractionation of methylated FAs using GLC and Ag+-HPLC, the accuracy and
sensitivity of the procedure is improved (especially for conjugated linoleic acids).
