Abstract |
Techniques for the analysis of porphyrins in the biomedical fields are reviewed. The emphasis is on high-performance liquid chromatography and its aspplications in: (1) the quantitative analysis of porphyrins in blood, urine and faeces; (2) qualitative porphyrin profiles in normal subjects and in the porphyrias; (3) assay of haem biosynthetic enzyme activities and (4) resolution of type isomers of porphyrins and porphyrinogens. Detection systems, quantitation methods, peak identification and sample preparation procedures are discussed.
