BackgroundThe steady-state redox potential of the cysteine/cystine couple in human plasma provides a measure of oxidative stress, yet available assays are limited by either specificity or speed of assay.MethodThe present study evaluated the use of LC-FTMS for identification based on accurate mass combined with quantification by stable isotopic dilution to rapidly determine cysteine and cystine concentration and cysteine/cystine steady-state redox potential in human plasma.ResultsA simple extraction procedure followed by a rapid LC separation eluted cysteine in 4 min and cystine in 1.5 min with simultaneous measurement of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG). A study of five young (mean age = 25.7) subjects and 5 older (mean age = 67.8 y) subjects showed an increased oxidation with age.ConclusionsThe analysis by LC-FTMS is suitable for high-throughput analysis of plasma cysteine, cystine and cysteine/cystine steady-state redox potential as clinical measures of oxidative stress.
