Abstract: | A simple and simultaneous determination of melatonin and its precursors, serotonin (5-HT) and N-acetylserotonin, was achieved by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. The addition of an ion-paring agent, sodium 1-octanesulfonate, to the chromatographic mobile phase caused an increase of the retention time of 5-HT, and resulted in the successful simultaneous resolution of these three indoleamines. This method was used to quantitate these indoleamines in the pineal gland of juvenile golden hamsters. |
