摘要: Abstract Cholesterol sulfate (CS) has various biological functions. Previously, plasma CS was measured primarily as a means to diagnose X-linked ichthyosis; however, recent hypothesis suggests that deficiency might be related autism. As such, an assay capable of measuring both very high (in the case ichthyosis) and low autism) levels is required. Here we describe novel LC–APCI-MS/MS method for determination in human plasma, propose normal ranges children, based on studies local population Chinese children between ages 2 10. In addition, have used this measure autistic children. isolated by solid-phase extraction, quantified isotope-dilution negative ion mode monitoring 465.3>97.1 m/z 472.3>97.1 (CS- d 7).
