Rosário Domingues, researcher at CESAM and professor at DQUA, recently co-authored the scientific article titled “Technical recommendations for analyzing oxylipins by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry”, making a significant contribution to the scientific community involved in bioactive lipid studies.
Published by an international team of experts, the article provides practical and technical guidelines for the rigorous analysis of oxylipins—metabolites derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids that play crucial roles in inflammation, immunity, and homeostasis. Using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS), these molecules can be measured with high sensitivity, making it essential to standardize methodologies to ensure reproducibility and comparability across laboratories.
The contribution of the CESAM/DQUA researcher was essential for the development and critical review of the technical recommendations presented in the article, reflecting her active involvement in cutting-edge lipidomics research.
This work aims to serve as a reference for researchers, clinical laboratories, and industrial users employing LC-MS in oxylipin analysis, promoting data quality and the advancement of biomedical research.
