Abstract
Laparotomy (EL) is one of the most common procedures performed among surgical specialties. Previous research demonstrates that surgery is associated with an increased inflammatory response. Low psoas muscle mass and quality markers are associated with increased mortality rates after emergency laparotomy. Analysis of lipid mediators in serum and muscle by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based lipidomics has proven to be a sensitive and precise technique. In this chapter, we describe an LC-MS/MS protocol for the profiling and quantification of signaling lipids formed from Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Eicosatetranoic acid (ETA) by 5, 12, or 15 lipoxynases. This protocol has been developed for and validated in serum and muscle samples in a mouse model of surgical stress caused by laparotomy.
