Phytanic acid and pristanic acid are oxidized by sequential peroxisomal and mitochondrial reactions in cultured fibroblasts
The relationship between peroxisomal and mitochondrial oxidation of the methyl branched fatty acids, phytanic acid and pristanic acid, was studied in normal and mutant human skin fibroblasts with established enzyme deficiencies. Tandem mass spectrometry was used for analysis of the acylcarnitine int...
