Analysis and Quantification of Ether Lipids by Chromatographic Methods

Chromatographic methods, especially thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) are widely used in investigations of the occurrence, molecular structure and metabolism of ether lipids. The application of such techniques to structural analysis and quantification, in combination with methods for the degradation and derivatization of ether lipids, is discussed.
