Abstract
A liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry method using two internal standards was developed for the simultaneous quantitative determination of phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), sphingomyelin (SM), and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) in human high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) and low‐density lipoprotein (LDL). We evaluated this method by examining precision, accuracy, and recovery of phospholipid concentrations in several matrixes. We obtained the time course of phospholipid content in human HDL and LDL treated with sPLA2‐X and quantitatively observed the decrease of PC, PI, PE, and the increase of LPC. This method should be useful for examination of simultaneous change of endogenous phospholipids in various enzymatic assays.
