Arginine (ARG) is a substrate for endogenous nitric oxide (NO) production whereas its metabolite, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), acts as an inhibitor. Sufficient NO production is essential for cardiovascular key functions, thus elevated concentration levels of ADMA are related to a range of cardiovascular diseases. Owing to the lack of reliable methods for the measurement of ARG and ADMA in human plasma, concentration values determined with these methods can differ considerably. We present here a simple and very robust liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric method for the determination of ARG and ADMA utilizing isotope-labeled internal standards. Sample preparation requires only protein precipitation; the analytes were derivatized with o-phthalaldehyde-mercaptoethanol and separated on a reversed-phase C(18) column with gradient elution. The analytes were detected with an electrospray ionization ion trap instrument working in the full-scan single mass spectrometry mode. Concentration values obtained with this method for healthy controls were ARG = 63.9 +/- 23.9 microM and ADMA = 0.355 +/- 0.066 microM, with a normal range for ADMA from 0.225 to 0.485 microM. The corresponding values for end-stage chronic renal failure patients are ARG = 48.1 +/- 18.5 microM, p < 0.01 and ADMA = 0.673 +/- 0.134 M, p < 0.001. 相似文献

Lowered plasma concentrations of the endogenous amino acid l-homoarginine have been recently identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients referred for coronary angiography in the LURIC study. To support further investigations into this matter, we describe here a fast and easy LC–MS–MS method for the detection of l-homoarginine in human plasma. The sample preparation consisted only of the addition of the stable isotope-labeled internal standard d 4-l-homoarginine and protein precipitation. The analytes were separated isocratically on an HILIC silica column. Detection took place by tandem mass spectrometry. The calibration function was linear in the range of 0.1–10 μmol L?1. The intra-day precision was better than 2 % RSD and the inter-day precision better than 4 % RSD in plasma. The accuracy was always better than 5 % deviation. The method was matrix independent owing to the usage of the analogous stable isotope-labeled internal standard. 相似文献
