[HTML][HTML] Lipids of human meibum: mass-spectrometric analysis and structural elucidation1

IA Butovich, E Uchiyama, JP McCulley - Journal of lipid research, 2007 - ASBMB
The purpose of this study was to structurally characterize the major lipid species present in
human meibomian gland secretions (MGS) of individual subjects by means of ion trap
atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry analysis (API MS n). The samples of
MGS and authentic lipid standards were analyzed in direct infusion and high-pressure liquid
chromatography (HPLC) experiments with API MS n detection of the analytes (HPLC API MS
n). The major precursor ions were isolated and subjected to further sequential fragmentation …
