Assay for Glycosaminoglycans by Tandem Mass Spectrometry and its Applications
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are distributed in the whole body and play a variety of important physiological roles associated with inflammation, growth, coagulation, fibrinolysis, lipolysis, and cell-matrix biology. Accumulation of undegraded GAGs in lysosomes gives rise to a distinct clinical syndrome, mucopolysaccharidoses. Measurement of each specific GAG in a variety of specimens is urgently r...
متن کاملAn improved method for measuring metaldehyde in surface water using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
The molluscicide metaldehyde (2,4,6,8-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetraoxocanemetacetaldehyde) is an emerging pollutant. It is frequently detected in surface waters, often above the European Community Drinking Water Directive limit of 0.1 μg/L for a single pesticide. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) can be used to determine metaldehyde in environmental waters, but this method requires time ...
متن کاملAn HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry method for simultaneous detection of alkylated base excision repair products.
DNA glycosylases excise a broad spectrum of alkylated, oxidized, and deaminated nucleobases from DNA as the initial step in base excision repair. Substrate specificity and base excision activity are typically characterized by monitoring the release of modified nucleobases either from a genomic DNA substrate that has been treated with a modifying agent or from a synthetic oligonucleotide contain...
متن کاملPlasma free metanephrine measurement using automated online solid-phase extraction HPLC tandem mass spectrometry.
BACKGROUND Quantification of plasma free metanephrine (MN) and normetanephrine (NMN) is considered to be the most accurate test for the clinical chemical diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and follow-up of pheochromocytoma patients. Current methods involve laborious, time-consuming, offline sample preparation, coupled with relatively nonspecific detection. Our aim was to develop a rapid, sensitive, ...
متن کاملAssay for free and total carnitine in human plasma using tandem mass spectrometry.
reflects increased erythropoietic activity in this period. In conclusion, we found that sTfR concentrations do exhibit gestational age-related changes during pregnancy: the value of sTfR increased with gestational age during pregnancy and returned to nonpregnancy values 12 weeks after delivery. Increases in sTfR concentrations during pregnancy seem to be influenced more by increased erythropoie...
