Abstract
Monosaccharides are essential for maintaining the normal physiological functions of living organisms. Under disease states, metabolic disorders in vivo will inevitably affect the levels of monosaccharides, which brings the possibility of monosaccharides as a biomarker of some diseases. In this study, a method was developed and validated for simultaneously determining 10 monosaccharides (glucose, galactose, mannose, rhamnose, fucose, xylose, iduronic acid, glucuronic acid, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylglucosamine) in SD rat plasma using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The method employed 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) as a derivatization reagent, considerably improved the chromatographic retention and ionization efficiency of monosaccharides. After protein precipitation of plasma samples, monosaccharides and isotope internal standards were derivatized and liquid-liquid extraction was performed to remove excess PMP. To achieve the baseline separation of several isomers, the resulting derivatives were chromatographed on a Bridged ethyl hybrid (BEH) Phenyl column using gradient elution with a total run time of 8 min. The method was linear within the range of 0.0100-5.00 μg/mL for rhamnose, 0.0500-25.0 μg/mL for fucose, xylose, iduronic acid, glucuronic acid, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylglucosamine, 1.00-500 μg/mL for galactose, 10.0-5000 μg/mL for mannose, and 50.0-25,000 μg/mL for glucose. And the accuracy and precision verification of surrogate matrix samples and plasma samples met the required criteria. The method has been used successfully to study the effect of hepatic insufficiency on monosaccharide levels in rats. It was found that the concentration of glucuronic acid in SD rat plasma was abnormally increased in rats with liver injury.

Cryopreservation of Andalusian donkey (Equus asinus) spermatozoa: Use of alternative energy sources in the freezing extender affects post-thaw sperm motility patterns but not DNA stability. Anim Reprod Sci 2019; 208:106126. [PMID: 31405480 DOI: 10.1016/j.anireprosci.2019.106126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2019] [Revised: 06/29/2019] [Accepted: 07/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of three sugars and Equex paste in a freezing extender for donkey sperm cryopreservation. Ejaculates (n = 18) were collected from six Andalusian donkeys of proven fertility were pooled (two ejaculates per pool) and cryopreserved using a freezing extender containing three different sugars (glucose, fructose and sorbitol), with or without the addition of Equex paste. Sperm quality was assessed before and after freezing-thawing for motility, morphology, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity and DNA integrity. The use of sorbitol in the freezing extender improved total and progressive sperm motility (P < 0.05) and amplitude of lateral head displacement (P < 0.01), but it reduced the values for other sperm motility variables compared with glucose (P < 0.001). The use of fructose resulted in a reduction in values for most CASA variables (P < 0.05), whereas addition of Equex paste did not have any beneficial effect on values for these variables (P > 0.05). Glucose was more effective in maintaining sperm morphology (P < 0.05), while there was no beneficial effect with the addition of Equex paste (P > 0.05). Supplementation of fructose and Equex paste in the freezing extender decreased plasma membrane integrity (P < 0.05) as compared with glucose, but there were no differences between treatments for acrosome and DNA integrity (P > 0.05), even after 24 h of incubation. The use of different sugar sources in the extender could affect the in vitro post-thaw quality of cryopreserved donkey spermatozoa, with sorbitol being an interesting alternative for improving the sperm quality. Results of the present study indicate the use of Equex paste could negatively affect post-thaw outcomes for sperm viability in this species.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The impact of increased fructose consumption on carbohydrate metabolism is a topic of current interest, but determination of serum level has been hindered due to low concentration and interference from serum glucose. We are reporting a method for the quantification of glucose and fructose in clinical samples using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The accuracy and precision of GC/MS and an enzymatic assay were compared. DESIGN AND METHODS Mass spectrometry fragmentation patterns of methyloxime peracetate derivatized aldose and ketose were determined. Unique fragments for glucose and fructose were used for quantitative analysis using isotope labeled recovery standards. RESULTS Methyloxime peracetate derivatives of glucose and fructose showed characteristic loss of acetate (M-60) or ketene (M-42) under chemical ionization (CI). Under electron impact (EI) ionization, a unique C1-C2 fragment of glucose was formed, while a C1-C3 fragment was formed from keto-hexoses. These unique fragments were used in the quantitative assay of glucose and fructose in clinical samples. In clinical samples, the GC/MS assay has a lower limit of detection than that of the enzymatic assay. In plasma samples from patients evaluated for diabetes the average serum glucose and fructose were 6.19+/-2.72 mM and 46+/- 25.22 microM. Fructose concentrations in many of these samples were below the limit of detection of the enzymatic method. CONCLUSION Derivatization of aldose and ketose monosaccharides to their respective O-methyloxime acetates for GC/MS analysis is a facile method for determination of serum/plasma glucose and fructose samples.

Abstract
Two new procedures for the gas-chromatographic analysis of monosaccharides are reported. One involves derivatization of the sugars by reaction with O-benzylhydroxylamine followed by trifluoroacetylation with N-methylbis(trifluoroacetamide) and chromatography on a DB-1701 capillary column. This technique probably provides the best resolution achieved to date of the C3-C6 aldoses, as well as of the corresponding alditols. Ketoses can be qualitatively analyzed by this method, but complications interfere with their quantitative analysis. The second procedure also involves initial derivatization as the O-benzyloxime, but is followed by trimethylsilylation with 1-trimethylsilylimidazole, and chromatography on a DB-17 column. This technique is particularly useful for C5 sugars, C6 ketoses, and mixtures of sugars, alditols, and/or lactones. A number of additional, critical, observations on the derivatization and capillary gas-chromatographic analysis of monosaccharides are described.

Abstract
A specific and sensitive assay for quantitation of xylose from plasma and urine has been developed. Following a clean-up procedure, plasma (0.1 ml) or urine (0.2 ml) samples are concentrated and undergo two sequential derivatization steps. A methyloxime derivative is formed initially, followed by trimethylsilylation of all hydroxyl groups. The derivatized samples are quantitated by capillary column gas chromatography using flame ionization detection. Xylose and the internal standard (2-deoxy-D-ribose) have retention times of 6.5 and 5.2 min, respectively. Other monosaccharides (e.g. ribose, arabinose) do not interfere with the assay. Standard curves are linear and reproducible over a concentration range of 10-200 mg/l for plasma and 100-2000 mg/l for urine. The within-day and day-to-day percentage coefficients of variation were less than 5 and 9%, respectively, for plasma and urine.

Abstract
The gas chromatographic separation of several monosaccharides and related sugars derivatized by methoxylation and trimethylsilylation reactions was optimized with glass capillary (SP-2250) and fused silica (SP-2100) columns. Individual sugars included aldoses, ketoses, polyols, acidic forms and N-acetylated amino sugars. Peaks were detected by selected ion monitoring (SIM). The fused silica column gave complete resolution of all peaks (two per hexose and one per hexitol) arising from glucose, galactose, mannose, fructose, sorbitol, mannitol and dulcitol. The resolution of these sugars with the glass capillary column was not as good, but full differentiation was possible on the basis of SIM. Because the fused silica column gave a better resolution of 33 sugars tested and was more easily installed than the glass capillary column, it was utilized for quantitative analysis. A deuterated algal sugar mixture used for quantitation by isotope dilution was found to contain glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, arabinose, ribose and rhamnose. Full recoveries were obtained of various amounts of glucose, galactose, mannose, fructose and xylose added to human serum.

Abstract
Gas-liquid chromatographic procedures for measuring sugar and polyol concentrations in biological fluids are reviewed. Such methods require the preparations of derivatives such as methyl ethers, trimethylsilyl ethers or acetyl esters. Prior to derivatisation samples must be deproteinised and dried. Complex mixtures of sugars and sugar alcohols may be resolved. Quantitative analyses are precise, sensitive and linear. If internal standardisation is used recoveries approaching 100% are obtained.
