Branched Fatty Acid esters of Hydroxy Fatty Acids (FAHFAs) are a recently discovered class of endogenous mammalian lipids with anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory effects. We identified 16 different FAHFA families, such as branched Palmitic Acid esters of Hydroxy Stearic Acids (PAHSA), and each family consists of multiple isomers where the branched ester is at different positions (e.g. 5- and 9-PAHSA). We anticipate increased need for PAHSA measurements as markers of metabolic and inflammatory diseases. In this protocol, we provide a detailed description of the extraction and subsequent liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) of FAHFAs from human or mouse tissues. For a sample size of 6–12 the time frame is 2–3 days.
