Popis: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of nitrite as its pentafluorobenzyl derivative in the negative-ion chemical ionization mode is a useful analytical tool to quantify accurately and sensitively nitrite and nitrate after its reduction to nitrite in various biological fluids. In the present study we demonstrate the utility of GC-tandem MS to quantify nitrate in human plasma and urine. Our present results verify human plasma and urine levels of nitrite and nitrate measured previously by GC-MS.
