Various disease areas such as cancer, myeloid leukemia, heart disease, liver disease, and lifestyle diseases (obesity and diabetes) were found to be related to certain metabolic pathways and changes in the concentrations of the compounds involved in those pathways. Therefore, the quantification of such compounds provides useful information pertaining to diagnosis, pathological conditions, and disease mechanisms, spurring the development of numerous analytical methods for this purpose. This review article addresses analytical methods for the quantification of carboxylic acids, which were classified into fatty acids, tricarboxylic acid cycle and glycolysis-related compounds, amino acid metabolites, perfluorinated carboxylic acids, \u03b1-keto acids and their metabolites, thiazole-containing carboxylic acids, and miscellaneous, in biological samples from 2000 to date. Methods involving liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet, fluorescence, mass spectrometry, and electrochemical detection were summarized.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules25214883","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,23]],"date-time":"2020-10-23T02:01:42Z","timestamp":1603418502000},"page":"4883","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Liquid-Chromatographic Methods for Carboxylic Acids in Biological Samples"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Takuya","family":"Fujiwara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Pharmaceutial Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 1130033, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryoto","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Pharmaceutial Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 1130033, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takuma","family":"Ohtawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Pharmaceutial Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 1130033, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9596-5988","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Makoto","family":"Tsunoda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Pharmaceutial Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 1130033, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aca.2011.09.042","article-title":"Liquid chromatography\u2013mass spectrometry based global metabolite profiling: A review","volume":"711","author":"Theodoridis","year":"2012","journal-title":"Anal.
