Applying of HPLC for S-adenosylhomocysteine and S-adenosylmethionine determination as dysfunction bioindicators of organism
Abstract
The article discusses the possibility of using the HPLC method for the determination of S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) and S-adenosylmethionine (SАМ) in plasma and tissues using different types of detection. We review and discuss the difficulties encountered in the analysis and their solutions, allowing to achieve the necessary selectivity and sensitivity. The article presents techniques fight against the ion suppression effect in case of the mass spectrometric detection. These approaches are essential for an adequate assessment of the SAH and SАМ content in biological matrices.
