          Abstract

          There is a common worldwide concern about the quality of life and one of the most important requirements is to ingest safe and nutritious food. The administration of antibiotics in cattle to treat several infectious diseases has contributed to the contamination of industrialized milk. The goal of this work was to develop a simple and fast method to identify and quantify fourteen antibiotics from different classes in milk, including five b-lactams, four sulfonamides, three tetracyclines, one macrolide and one cephalosporin, using reversed-phase liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS/MS). This technique used Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) acquisition mode to allow the determination of the proposed compounds in the concentration range from 0.75 to 375 µg L-1, within coefficient of linearity (r) higher than 0.9960, selectivity, sensitivity, and speed, with analysis time less than 10 minutes. Dicloxacillin and erythromycin showed the lower and higher decision limits (ccalpha) results of 0.05 and 9.77 µg L-1, respectively. Overall, the recoveries results ranged from 65 to 125%, with standard deviation values from 2.0 to 15%. This method was also applied to evaluate the quality of different fat milk brands offered in the Brazilian market.

          Atualmente, existe uma preocupação mundial sobre qualidade de vida e um dos requisitos mais importantes é ingerir alimentos seguros e nutritivos. A administração de antibióticos em gado para tratamento de diversas doenças infecciosas tem contribuído para a contaminação do leite industrializado. Por isso, o principal objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver um método simples e rápido para identificar e quantificar quatorze antibióticos de diferentes classes em leite, dentre estes: cinco b-lactâmicos, quatro sulfonamidas, três tetraciclinas, um macrolídeo e uma cefalosporina, utilizando sistema de CLAE em modo reverso de eluição com ionização por electrospray e detecção por espectrometria de massas do tipo triploquadrupolo (MS/MS). Esta técnica utilizada em modo de aquisição Monitoramento Múltiplo de Reação (Multiple Reaction Monitoring - MRM) permitiu a determinação dos compostos propostos na faixa de concentração de 0,75 a 375 µg L-1, com coeficientes de linearidade (r) maiores do que 0,9960, seletividade, sensibilidade e velocidade, com tempo total de análise menor do que 10 minutos. Os compostos dicloxacilina e eritromicina apresentaram o maior e menor resultado de limite de decisão (ccalfa) igual a 0,05 e 9,77 µg L-1, respectivamente. Em geral, os resultados de recuperação foram de 65 a 125%, com valores de desvio padrão de 2,0 a 15%. Este método também foi aplicado para avaliar a qualidade de diferentes marcas de leite integral disponíveis no mercado brasileiro.

            A simple and rapid method for identifying and semi-quantifying peptide hormones in isolated pancreatic islets by direct-tissue matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

            We describe a new, simple, robust and efficient method based on direct-tissue matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry that enables consistent semi-quantitation of peptide hormones in isolated pancreatic islets from normal and diabetic rodents. Prominent signals were measured that corresponded to all the main peptide hormones present in islet-endocrine cells: (α-cells) glucagon, glicentin-related polypeptide/GRPP; (β-cells) insulin I, insulin II, C-peptide I, C-peptide II, amylin; (δ-cells) somatostatin-14; and (PP-cells), and pancreatic polypeptide. The signal ratios coincided with known relative hormone abundances. The method demonstrated that severe insulin deficiency is accompanied by elevated levels of all non-β-cell-hormones in diabetic rat islets, consistent with alleviation of paracrine suppression of hormone production by non-β-cells. It was also effective in characterizing hormonal phenotype in hemizygous human-amylin transgenic mice that express human and mouse amylin in approx. equimolar quantities. Finally, the method demonstrated utility in basic peptide-hormone discovery by identifying a prominent new Gcg-gene-derived peptide (theoretical monoisotopic molecular weight 3263.5 Da), closely related to but distinct from GRPP, in diabetic islets. This peptide, whose sequence is HAPQDTEENARSFPASQTEPLEDPNQINE in Rattus norvegicus, could be a peptide hormone whose roles in physiology and metabolic disease warrant further investigation. This method provides a powerful new approach that could provide important new insights into the physiology and regulation of peptide hormones in islets and other endocrine tissues. It has potentially wide-ranging applications that encompass endocrinology, pharmacology, phenotypic analysis in genetic models of metabolic disease, and hormone discovery, and could also effectively limit the numbers of animals required for such studies.
