A simple, specific, and sensitive ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 3'-hydroxypuerarin, 6''-O-xylosylpuerarin, mirificin, puerarin, 3'-methoxypuerarin and daidzin in rat plasma. After the addition of methanol containing 0.1% formic acid and 10% ascorbic acid, the analytes and rutoside were obtained by protein precipitation, then separated on a Thermo Syncronis C18 column (2.1 mm × 10 cm, 1.7 μm) by gradient elution and monitored using an electrospray ionization interface operating in positive ion and selective reaction monitoring acquisition mode. The calibration curves of these analytes showed good linearity (r > 0.99) within the test ranges. The lower limit of quantification was 0.0200 μg/mL for 3'-hydroxypuerarin, 0.0101 μg/mL for 6''-O-xylosylpuerarin, 0.0100 μg/mL for mirificin and puerarin, 0.0098 μg/mL for 3'-methoxypuerarin, and 0.0090 μg/mL for daidzin. The intraday and interday precision and accuracy were all within 15%. The extraction recoveries were from 74.0 to 95.8%. The validated method was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic studies of the six isoflavonoids in rat plasma after intravenous administration of total flavonoids from Gegen.

Fluorine is a strong oxidizing element and excessive intake can have harmful effects, particularly on the body's calcified tissues. Recent studies have demonstrated a link between miRNA and fluorosis. This study aimed to evaluate the time-dose-effect relationship of miR-200c-3p in plasma, urine and cartilage of rats with drinking water fluorosis, and to explore its potential as a biomarker.

Background: Impaired interstitial fluid drainage in the brain is indicated by the presence of perivascular β-amyloid (Aβ) deposits and is attributed to alterations in contractility and relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The brain microvasculature in Alzheimer disease (AD) accumulates amyloid-forming amylin secreted from the pancreas. Here, we tested the hypothesis that cerebrovascular amylin deposits perturbs cerebral Aβ efflux by impairing cerebral vasodilation.
