Busulfan is used in myeloablative preparation regimens for hematopoietic bone marrow transplantation. Due to its narrow therapeutic range therapeutic drug monitoring of busulfan is recommended. In this study a fast and simple method for measuring busulfan in serum or plasma by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been developed utilizing turbulent flow online extraction technology. Serum or plasma was mixed with acetonitrile containing d(8)-busulfan. After centrifugation the supernatant was injected onto a turbulent flow preparatory column then transferred to a C18 analytical column monitored by a tandem mass spectrometer set at positive electrospray ionization. The analytical cycle time was 4.0min. The method was linear from 0.15 to 41.90μmol/L with an accuracy of 87.9-103.0%. Inter- and intra-assay CVs across four concentration levels were 2.1-7.8%. No significant carryover or ion suppression was observed. No interference was observed from commercial control materials containing more than 100 compounds. Comparison with a well established LC-MS/MS method using patient specimens (n=45) showed a mean bias 1.3% with Deming regression of slope 1.02, intercept -0.02μmol/L, and a linear correlation coefficient 0.9883. The LC-MS/MS method coupled with turbulent flow online sample cleaning technology described here offers reliable busulfan quantitation in serum or plasma with minimum manual sample preparation and was fully validated for clinical use. 相似文献

Nateglinide (NTG), an insulin secretogogue, has been studied in rats for drug-drug interaction with cilostazol (CLZ), an antiplatelet agent commonly used in diabetics. We developed a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) based method that is capable of simultaneous monitoring plasma levels of nateglinide, cilostazol, and its active metabolite 3,4-dehydro-cilostazol (DCLZ). All analytes including the internal standard (Repaglinide) were chromatographed on reverse phase C(18) column (50 mm x 4.6mm i.d., 5 microm) using acetonitrile: 2mM ammonium acetate buffer, pH 3.4 (90:10, v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate 0.4 ml/min in an isocratic mode. The detection of analyte was performed on LC-MS/MS system in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The quantitations for analytes were based on relative concentration. The method was validated over the concentration range of 20-2000 ng/ml and the lower limit of quantitation was 20 ng/ml. The recoveries from spiked control samples were >79% for all analytes and internal standard. Intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision of validated method were with in the acceptable limits of <15% at all concentration. The quantitation method was successfully applied for simultaneous estimation of NTG, CLZ and DCLZ in a pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction study in Wistar rats. 相似文献

Adrenal steroid profiling, including 17α-OH progesterone (17OHP), 11-deoxycortisol (S), Δ4-androstenedione (Δ4-A) and cortisol (F) in blood spots by tandem mass spectrometry, is used for newborn screening to detect congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Pre-analytical sample processing is critical for assay specificity and accuracy; however, it is laborious and time-consuming. This study describes the development and validation of a new Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of five steroids: 17OHP, S, Δ4-A, F and cortisone (E) in blood spots from newborns. Whole blood was eluted from a 5.00 mm dried blood spot by an aqueous solution containing the deuterium-labeled internal standards d8-17OHP and d4-cortisol. The steroids extracted from blood spot into aqueous solution were subsequently purified via Extelut mini NT1 column using diethylether. The extracts were evaporated and quantified using LC-MS/MS. The detection limit was 0.25 ng/mL for 17OHP and S, 0.4 ng/mL for Δ4-A and 0.5 ng/mL for F and E. The limit of quantification was 0.5 ng/mL for 17OHP, S and Δ4-A and 1 ng/mL for F and E. Precision for 17OHP, S, Δ4-A at concentrations of 0.5, 2, and 8 ng/mL (n=5) in fortified steroid free serum samples was 1.3-3.5% (intra-assay CV) and 7-14.8% (inter-assay CV). Precision for F and E at concentrations of 5 and 20 ng/mL was 1.5-4.8% (intra-assay, CV%) and 6-15% (inter-assay, CV%). Accuracy was calculated at concentrations of 0.5, 2, and 8 ng/mL for 17OHP, S and Δ4-A and ranged from -0.3 to 0.2%, while for F and E it ranged from -3.2 to 0.2%. Relative recoveries at concentration 2 ng/mL and 8 ng/mL for 17OHP, S, Δ4-A and at 5 ng/mL and 20 ng/mL for F and E ranged from 55% to 80%. Reference intervals were estimated for all steroids in newborns (on day 3). The steroid profile assay herein described is sensitive, specific and accurate and involves a simple pre-analytical sample manipulation; it is therefore suitable for routine analysis and provides data for samples within normal range as well as those with elevated levels. For the first time to our knowledge, cortisone levels are reported in dried blood spots from newborns. 相似文献

Despite the new advances in bioanalytical techniques, the analysis of low-molecular-weight organic acids in complex matrices is still a challenge. Although new strategies applying liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) seem to be promising, sample preparation methodologies hamper its application in most clinical laboratories. The quantitation of methylmalonic acid (MMA) in biological matrices is an emblematic example due to its low concentration, the need for derivatization to increase its molecular weight, and the presence of the physiologically more abundant isomer succinic acid. Here we present a new strategy for rapid and sensitive MMA quantitation by combining alkylative extraction and LC-MS/MS. Alkylative extraction conditions were optimized to allow endogenous detection of MMA using only 50 μL of serum with a short sample preparation procedure. The formation of a unique ion from the MMA dipentafluorobenzyl derivative in negative atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) allowed its detection with high sensitivity and with no interference from succinic acid, a more abundant physiologically present isomer. 相似文献

Quantitation of progesterone (P4) in biological fluids is often performed by radioimmunoassay (RIA), whereas liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been used much less often. Due to its autoconfirmatory nature, LC-MS/MS greatly minimizes false positives and interference. Herein we report and compare with RIA an optimized LC-MS/MS method for rapid, efficient, and cost-effective quantitation of P4 in plasma of cattle with no sample derivatization. The quantitation of plasma P4 released from three nonbiodegradable, commercial, intravaginal P4-releasing devices (IPRD) over 192 h in six ovariectomized cows was compared in a pairwise study as a test case. Both techniques showed similar P4 kinetics (P > 0.05) whereas results of P4 quantitation by RIA were consistently higher compared with LC-MS/MS (P < 0.05) due to interference and matrix effects. The LC-MS/MS method was validated according to the recommended analytical standards and displayed P4 limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) of 0.08 and a 0.25 ng/mL, respectively. The high selective LC-MS/MS method proposed herein for P4 quantitation eliminates the risks associated with radioactive handling; it also requires no sample derivatization, which is a common requirement for LC-MS/MS quantitation of steroid hormones. Its application to multisteroid assays is also viable, and it is envisaged that it may provide a gold standard technique for hormone quantitation in animal reproductive science studies. 相似文献

A sensitive, precise and accurate quantitative LC-MS/MS method for the measurement of naproxen in human plasma was developed and completely validated according to current FDA and EMA guidelines. The new method employs acetonitrile protein precipitation for sample preparation and uses ketoprofen as the internal standard. Suitability of the new assay was assessed in comparison with 36 reported bioanalytical assays and the pharmacokinetic results obtained by the new method were compared to 11 reported studies in humans. The principal advantage of this LC-MS/MS method is the simultaneous achievement of high absolute recovery (90.0±3.6%), acceptable sensitivity (lower limit of quantitation of 0.100 μg/mL), high inter-day precision (CV≤9.4%), high analytical recovery (between 94.4 and 103.1%), and excellent linearity over the concentration range 0.100-50.0 μg/mL (r(2)≥0.998) combined with a short run time of only 2 min. 相似文献

A selective and sensitive method for analysis of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in human serum and plasma, utilizing liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), has been developed and thoroughly validated to satisfy strict FDA guidelines for bioanalytical methods. A simple, automated sample preparation procedure, involving extraction of the target analyte with acetonitrile on protein precipitation media in a 96-well plate format was developed, allowing efficient handling of large numbers of samples. The proposed method uses the calibration standards prepared in a surrogate matrix (rabbit serum or plasma) and (13)C-labeled PFOA as the internal standard to account for matrix effects, instrument drift, and extraction efficiency. Human serum and plasma could not be used for matrix matching of calibration standards as endogenous levels of PFOA observed in the control human serum and plasma significantly exceeded the targeted lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of the method. Precision and accuracy of the method were demonstrated by analysis of rabbit serum and plasma control samples fortified at 0.5, 5, and 40 ng/mL PFOA and human serum and plasma fortified at 1.0, 5.0, 40 ng/mL PFOA. The LLOQ of 0.5 ng/mL PFOA was experimentally demonstrated for rabbit and human serum and plasma. Within-day precision and accuracy, short-term stability, freeze-thaw stability, equivalence of response between PFOA and APFO (the ammonium salt of PFOA), and dilution of concentrated samples were also investigated. The results of the validation experiments comply with the precision and accuracy limits defined by the FDA guidance document: "Guidance for Industry, Bioanalytical Method Validation", May 2001. 相似文献

The residues of sulfonamides (SAs) in the foods of animal origin are of the major concern because they are harmful to the consumer's health and could induce pathogens to develop resistance. Rapid and efficient determination methods are urgently in need. A quantitative high performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC) and a confirmative liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of 18 sulfonamides such as sulfamidinum, sulfanilamide, sulfisomidine, sulfadiazine, sulfapyridine, sulfathiazole, sulfamerazine, sulfadimidine, sulfamethoxypyridazine, sulfamethoxydiazine, sulfisoxazole, sulfachloropyridazine, sulfamethoxazole, sulfamonomethoxine, sulfadoxine, sulfaclozine, sulfadimethoxine, sulfaquinoxaline in the muscles, livers and kidneys of swine, bovine and chicken were developed and validated. The sample preparation procedures included a pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) with acetonitrile conducted at elevated temperature (70°C) and pressure (1400 psi). After clean-up with hydrophilic-lipophilic balance cartridge, the extraction solution was concentrated and analyzed by HPLC and LC-MS/MS analysis. 18 SAs were separated by the HPLC with a Zorbax SB-Aq-C18 column and the mobile phase of methanol/acetonitrile/1% acetic acid with a gradient system. The wavelength of UV for the HPLC detection was set at 285 nm. The LC-MS/MS analysis was achieved with a Hypersil Golden column and the mobile phase of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution with two gradient systems. The Limits of detection (LOD) and the limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 3 μg/kg and 10 μg/kg, respectively, for both of the HPLC and LC-MS/MS. Linearity was obtained with an average coefficient of determination (R) higher than 0.9980 over a dynamic range from the LOQ value up to 5000 μg/kg. The recoveries of the methods range from 71.1% to 118.3% with the relative standard derivation less than 13%. The peaks of interest with no interferences were observed throughout the chromatographic run. The sample pretreatment provided efficient extraction and cleanup that enables a sensitive and rugged determination of 18 SAs, the obtained results revealed that PLE, in comparison with other sample preparation methods applied, has significantly higher efficacy for SAs isolation from animal tissues. 相似文献

To support pharmacokinetic studies, a selective and sensitive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of a novel KDR kinase inhibitor (1) and its active metabolite (2) in human plasma. The method is fully automated using a Packard MultiPROBE II system and a TomTec Quadra 96 liquid handling workstation to perform sample preparation and solid-phase extraction (SPE). Following the extraction on a mixed-mode SPE using Oasis MCX 96-well plate, the analytes were separated on a Aquasil C18 column (50 mm x 2.1 mm, i.d., 3 microm) with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile/ammonium acetate buffer (5 mM, pH 5.0) (60/40, v/v). The run time for each injection was 4.5 min with the retention times of approximately 2.0 and 2.7 min for 1 and 2 respectively, at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. A tandem mass spectrometric detection was conducted using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) under the positive ion mode with a turbo ion-spray interface. The linear ranges of the calibration curves were 0.05-400 ng/mL for 1 and 0.1-400 ng/mL for 2 on a PE Sciex API 4000 LC-MS/MS system. The lower limits of quantitation (LLOQ) of the assay were 0.05 and 0.1 ng/mL for 1 and 2 respectively, when 0.4 mL of plasma was processed. Intra-day assay precision (using five standard curves prepared by spiking compounds to five lots of plasma) was less than 4.9% for 1 and less than 9.6% for 2 on each concentration. Assay accuracy was found to be 95.1-104.6% of nominal for 1 standards and 93.5-105.6% for 2 standards. QC samples were stable when kept at room temperature for 4 h, at -70 degrees C for 10 days, and after three freeze-thaw cycles. The extraction recoveries were 80%, 83% and 84% for 1 and 2 and I.S. respectively, and no significant matrix effects were observed. The method was successfully applied to plasma samples from clinical studies after oral administration of compound 1. 相似文献

Quantitation of endogenous steroids is important in the diagnosis of several endocrine disorders. In this study we present a new method for simultaneous quantitation of cortisol, cortisone, 11-desoxycortisol, 21-desoxycortisol, corticosterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone and 11-desoxycorticosterone in human serum by on-line extraction and LC-MS/MS. Analytes extraction was performed on-line using a 2-position and 6-port valve equipped with a monolithic silica cartridge. After chromatographic separation of all analytes, detection was performed in the multiple reaction monitoring mode using positive atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mode. Total imprecision of the assay ranged from 5.5 to 15.5%. Comparison with immunoassays yielded coefficients of 0.893 for cortisol, 0.848 for 11-desoxycortisol and 0.924 for 17-hydroxyprogesterone. The sensitivity of this method provides meaningful data for patients within normal and elevated range and it may be useful for the diagnosis of a variety of adrenal dysfunctions. 相似文献

Vitamin D therapy is widely used for the treatment of hyperparathyroidism associated with chronic renal failure in renal disease patients. The vitamin D prodrug, 1α-hydroxyvitamin D(2) (1α(OH)D(2)), is used for the treatment of the end stage renal disease patients who as a result of impaired kidney function cannot convert the naturally occurring vitamin D to the active hormonal form namely 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(2) (1,25(OH)(2)D(2)). The systemic circulating levels of this active form are in the pg/mL range and represent a significant bioanalytical challenge for therapeutic monitoring. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is considered the gold standard for the selective and sensitive determination of small molecule therapeutics in biological matrices. However, the reported LC-MS/MS bioanalytical assays for 1,25(OH)(2)D(2) suffer from extensive sample preparation procedures or derivatization protocols to achieve the requisite sensitivity and selectivity. In this paper, we describe an assay that employs 96-well plate solid phase extraction sample preparation combined with highly sensitive LC-MS/MS instrumentation. The utility of ultra high pressure liquid chromatography to reduce the analytical run time was also demonstrated. Employing this assay a lower limit of quantitation of 25.0 pg/mL using 300 μL sample aliquot of rat serum was achieved with linearity obtained over the range of 25.0-1000 pg/mL. Both intra-day and inter-day coefficients of variation were <15% and accuracy across the assay range was within 100±7.24%. The application of the assay was demonstrated for the analysis of 1,25(OH)(2)D(2) rat serum samples to support pharmacokinetic studies conducted at doses down to sub-microgram per kilogram of 1α(OH)D(2). 相似文献

High throughput LC-MS/MS assays to quantitate a new alpha(nu)beta(3) bone integrin antagonist (I) in human plasma and urine have been developed using instruments programmed to automate sample preparation procedures. Packard liquid handling system-MultiPROBE II EX was programmed for preparing calibration standards in control plasma and urine, acidifying all standards, quality control (QC), and clinical samples with necessary dilutions, and adding the internal standard to the acidified samples. TOMTEC Quadra 96 was programmed to perform the solid phase extraction (SPE) process on a 3M 96-well mixed phase cation standard density (MPC-SD) plate to isolate the analytes from the sample matrix. The extract collected from both types of matrices was directly injected into reversed-phase LC-MS/MS system with a Turbo Ion Spray (TIS) interface in the positive ionization mode. The plasma and urine assays have the calibration range of 0.5-1500 and 2-6000 ng/mL, respectively. Validation of the automated and the manual plasma assays showed that application of MultiPROBE II to sample preparation gave comparable accuracy and precision. Overall, the automated approaches with minimum manual intervention enhanced the throughput of sample preparation. 相似文献

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) proteomics analyses were performed on eccrine sweat of healthy controls, and the results were compared with those from individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia (SZ). This is the first large scale study of the sweat proteome. First, we performed LC-MS/MS on pooled SZ samples and pooled control samples for global proteomics analysis. Results revealed a high abundance of diverse proteins and peptides in eccrine sweat. Most of the proteins identified from sweat samples were found to be different than the most abundant proteins from serum, which indicates that eccrine sweat is not simply a plasma transudate and may thereby be a source of unique disease-associated biomolecules. A second independent set of patient and control sweat samples were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and spectral counting to determine qualitative protein differential abundances between the control and disease groups. Differential abundances of selected proteins, initially determined by spectral counting, were verified by MRM-MS analyses. Seventeen proteins showed a differential abundance of approximately 2-fold or greater between the SZ pooled sample and the control pooled sample. This study demonstrates the utility of LC-MS/MS and MRM-MS as a viable strategy for the discovery and verification of potential sweat protein disease biomarkers. 相似文献

Direct plasma injection technology coupled with a LC-MS/MS assay provides fast and straightforward method development and greatly reduces the time for the tedious sample preparation procedures. In this work, a simple and sensitive bioanalytical method based on direct plasma injection using a single column high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was developed for direct cocktail analysis of double-pooled mouse plasma samples for the quantitative determination of small molecules. The overall goal was to improve the throughput of the rapid pharmacokinetic (PK) screening process for early drug discovery candidates. Each pooled plasma sample was diluted with working solution containing internal standard and then directly injected into a polymer-coated mixed-function column for sample clean-up, enrichment and chromatographic separation. The apparent on-column recovery of six drug candidates in mouse plasma samples was greater than 90%. The single HPLC column was linked to either an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) or electrospray ionization (ESI) source as a part of MS/MS system. The total run cycle time using single column direct injection methods can be achieved within 4 min per sample. The analytical results obtained by the described direct injection methods were comparable with those obtained by semi-automated protein precipitation methods within +/- 15%. The advantages and challenges of using direct single column LC-MS/MS methods with two ionization sources in combination of sample pooling technique are discussed. 相似文献

A method based on liquid chromatography (LC) in combination with mass spectrometry (MS) for the analysis of alachlor (ALA) and its metabolites, 2-chloro-N-[2,6-diethylphenyl]acetamide (CDEPA) and 2,6-diethylaniline (DEA), in rat plasma and urine has been developed. 13C-labeled ALA was used as the internal standard for quantitation. The analyte in plasma or urine was isolated using a Waters Oasis HLB extraction plate. The mass spectrometer was operated in the ESI MS-SIM mode with a programming procedure. The retention times for ALA, CDEPA and DEA were 1.84, 3.11 and 4.12 min, respectively. The limits of quantification (LOQ) for ALA, CDEPA and DEA were 2.3, 0.8 and 0.8 ng per injection, respectively. The linear fit of analyte to mass response had an R2 of 0.99. Reproducibility of the sample handling and LC-MS analysis had a RSD of < or = 10%. The average recoveries for these analytes in rat plasma were better than 90%. Similar results were obtained with rat urine. 相似文献

Isotopic labeling of cysteine residues with acrylamide was previously utilized for relative quantitation of proteins by MALDI-TOF. Here, we explored and compared the application of deuterated and (13)C isotopes of acrylamide for quantitative proteomic analysis using LC-MS/MS and high-resolution FTICR mass spectrometry. The method was applied to human serum samples that were immunodepleted of abundant proteins. Our results show reliable quantitation of proteins across an abundance range that spans 5 orders of magnitude based on ion intensities and known protein concentration in plasma. The use of (13)C isotope of acrylamide had a slightly greater advantage relative to deuterated acrylamide, because of shifts in elution of deuterated acrylamide relative to its corresponding nondeuterated compound by reversed-phase chromatography. Overall, the use of acrylamide for differentially labeling intact proteins in complex mixtures, in combination with LC-MS/MS provides a robust method for quantitative analysis of complex proteomes. 相似文献

Sex hormones, including androgens, estrogens, and progestogens, are important biomarkers for various diseases. Quantification of sex hormones is typically conducted by LC-MS/MS. At present, most methods require liquid-liquid extraction or solid phase extraction for sample preparation. However, these pretreatments are prone to compromise LC-MS/MS throughput. To improve on the current standard practices, we investigated cold-induced phase separation for sex hormone extraction. After protein precipitation with acetonitrile and adjusting the solution constitution with water, samples were stored at ?30°C for 10 min to generate two distinct phases: an acetonitrile-rich layer on top of a water-rich layer. During this process, the hydrophobic sex hormones spontaneously separate into the upper layer. This simple and reliable cold-induced phase separation-based LC-MS/MS methodology was used here to simultaneously detect estrone, estradiol, estriol, testosterone, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone, progesterone, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone in serum. Validation of this method indicated satisfactory performance, including acceptable linearity, accuracy, precision, and tractability. Compared with the mainstream liquid-liquid extraction-based method, this new method exhibits significant progress in throughput, which shortens the time cost of sample preparation from 90 to 40 min. We propose that this method can be an excellent alternative for sex hormone analysis in routine clinical laboratories. 相似文献

In this work, an automated screening method for the simultaneous identification and quantitation of 30 representative multiclass drugs (including opiates, cocaine and its main metabolite, cannabinoids, amphetamines and other stimulants in hair samples) has been developed using fast liquid-chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOFMS). The identification and quantitation of the drugs were carried out by liquid chromatography using a C(18) column (4.6×50 mm) with 1.8 μm particle size. Accurate mass measurements of ions of interest (typically [M+H](+)) by electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry in the positive ionization mode were used for unambiguous confirmation of the targeted species. Three sample preparation methodologies were evaluated: (a) direct methanolic extraction by sonication, (b) acidic extraction, and (c) alkaline digestion. Direct methanolic extraction showed better recoveries and cleaner extracts. The limits of detection obtained in hair matrix were as low as 5 pg mg(-1) for cocaine and cannabidiol, ranging from 5 to 75 pg mg(-1) for the studied species while the LOQ ranged from 15 to 250 pg mg(-1). The method has been applied to six hair samples from drug consumer volunteers, where the presence of at least one drug was confirmed by accurate mass measurements within 2 ppm (mass error) in most cases. The present study demonstrates the usefulness of LC-TOFMS for both screening and quantitation purposes in drug testing in hair. In addition, the possibility of non-target or a posteriori data analysis of samples or the extension of the procedure for testing for additional compounds offers interesting features for forensic analysis. 相似文献

Laborious sample pretreatment of biological samples represents the most limiting factor for the translation of targeted proteomics assays from research to clinical routine. An optimized method for the simultaneous quantitation of 12 major apolipoproteins (apos) combining on‐line SPE and fast LC‐MS/MS analysis in 6.5 min total run time was developed, reducing the manual sample pretreatment time of 3 μL serum or plasma by 60%. Within‐run and between‐day imprecisions below 10 and 15% (n = 10) and high recovery rates (94–131%) were obtained applying the high‐throughput setup. High‐quality porcine trypsin was used, which outperformed cost‐effective bovine trypsin regarding digestion efficiency. Comparisons with immunoassays and another LC‐MS/MS assay demonstrated good correlation (Pearson's R: 0.81–0.98). Further, requirements on sample quality concerning sampling, processing, and long‐term storage up to 1 year were investigated revealing significant influences of the applied sampling material and coagulant on quantitation results. Apo profiles of 1339 subjects of the LIFE‐Adult‐Study were associated with lifestyle and physiological parameters as well as establish parameters of lipid metabolism (e.g., triglycerides, cholesterol). Besides gender effects, most significant impact was seen regarding lipid‐lowering medication. In conclusion, this novel highly standardized, high‐throughput targeted proteomics assay utilizes a fast, simultaneous analysis of 12 apos from least sample amounts. 相似文献
