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.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011166 Porphyrins A group of compounds containing the porphin structure, four pyrrole rings connected by methine bridges in a cyclic configuration to which a variety of side chains are attached. The nature of the side chain is indicated by a prefix, as uroporphyrin, hematoporphyrin, etc. The porphyrins, in combination with iron, form the heme component in biologically significant compounds such as hemoglobin and myoglobin.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
