3-Nitrotyrosine (NTyr) is considered as a biomarker of the generation of reactive nitrogen species (RNS). However, it is still difficult to determine its concentration in biological samples. To develop a reliable and high-throughput method, we optimized the conditions for high performance liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). The best separation of NTyr was achieved using a highly acidic mobile phase (pH 2.5). The concentration of protein-bound NTyr in plasma protein was 593.6 +/- 53.8 fmol/mg in rats treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and 114.4 +/- 27.6 fmol/mg in control. After intravenous administration of in vitro-nitrated plasma protein, NTyr concentration decreased; the half-life was 63.4 +/- 16.8 h. Consistently, protein-bound NTyr concentration in plasma after LPS treatment declined gradually, but was detectable for 1 week. Our protocol is reproducible and suitable for analysing multiple clinical samples to study RNS production in vivo.

Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are widely spread and long persistent contaminants. The aim of this study was to evaluate physiological changes associated with the decontamination of animals previously exposed to environmental pollutants. Eight Limousine heifers were removed from a polluted area and fed a standard ration for six months.

Dioxins are lipophilic compounds with a small molecular weight and are highly persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic. Dioxin detoxification is associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In physiological conditions the body is protected against ROS and their toxic products by a wide range of antioxidant systems.

Nitrotyrosine (NTYR) is used as a biomarker of nitrative pathology caused by peroxynitrite (ONOO-) formation. NTYR measurement in biological materials usually employs such methodologies as immunohistochemistry staining, high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography. In this study, we developed a method for the determination of tyrosine (TYR) and NTYR, using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

A sensitive and selective method is presented to accurately determine the level of protein-bound 3-nitro-L-tyrosine (NTyr) in rat plasma and kidney samples. This assay is based on isotope dilution liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). The sample preparation entails protein precipitation, acid hydrolysis with 6 N HCl, and solid-phase extraction (using reverse and aminopropyl phase cartridges) prior to the determinative step.
