Abstract: | The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) participates in regulating the body fluid, such as angiotensin II (1-8), and plays an important role in blood pressure control. In RAS, angiotensin II (1-8) is the major effector but other angiotensins may also mediate the actions of the RAS. In this study, a simple method is proposed for analysis of the metabolites of angiotensin II (1-8). Experimental data was acquired by a nanoLC system connected with quadruple time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometry. The flow rate of this method was at 400 nL/min, and this nanoliter level flow rate would lower the consumption of organic solvents. |
