Abstract
Comprehensive quantitative analysis of lipid mediators using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is an effective strategy in the elucidation of disease mechanisms; but technically, it has been and is still a great challenge to achieve reliable datasets that cover variety of lipid metabolites contained at trace levels in complex biological matrices. In this opinion article, we introduce our experiences in developing lipid mediator profiling systems, and deliver some comments on limitations of current methodology.
