TL;DR: This LC-MS/MS method provides the capacity to quantify the plasma concentrations of arginine and some of its chemically related metabolites and may be suitable for the fast and reproduced quantitative determination of the analytes in large clinical trials and routine analysis.
Systemic concentrations of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): state of the art.
Angelo Zinellu,Alessandro G. Fois,Arduino A. Mangoni,Panagiotis Paliogiannis,Elisabetta Sotgiu,Elisabetta Zinellu,Viviana Marras,Pietro Pirina,Ciriaco Carru +8 more
TL;DR: Experimental evidence suggests that oxidative stress (OS) may increase the activity of arginine methylating enzymes that produce the endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA).
Hercynine content in widely consumed commercial beverages

TL;DR: In this article, the main biosynthetic precursor and oxidative metabolite of ergothioneine was measured by an LC-ESI-MS/MS method in tea, coffee, beer, and wine samples.
Clinical and pathological factors influencing survival in a large cohort of triple-negative breast cancer patients.
Silvana Anna Maria Urru,Silvano Gallus,Cristina Bosetti,Tiziana Moi,Ricardo Medda,Elisabetta Sollai,Alma Murgia,Francesca Sanges,Giovanna Pira,Alessandra Manca,Dolores Palmas,Matteo Floris,Anna Asunis,Francesco Atzori,Ciriaco Carru,Maurizio D'Incalci,Massimo Ghiani,Vincenzo Marras,Daniela Onnis,Maria Cristina Santona,Giuseppina Sarobba,Enrichetta Valle,Luisa Canu,Sergio Cossu,Alessandro Bulfone,Paolo Cossu Rocca,Maria Rosaria De Miglio,Sandra Orrù +27 more
TL;DR: This uniquely large study of TNBC patients provides further evidence that, besides tumor stage at diagnosis, lymph node ratio among lymph node positive tumors is an additional relevant predictor of survival and tumor recurrence, while Ki-67 seems to be predictive of mortality, but not of recurrence.
Plasma thiols redox status by laser-induced fluorescence capillary electrophoresis.
TL;DR: An improvement of the previous method that allows the measurement of different thiol forms is presented, and the assay was used to measure the thiols redox status in 15 plasma samples from healthy volunteers.
