“…For LC–MS analysis, hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid is required (Yang et al, ; Wang et al, ; Metcalfe et al, ; Chan et al, ); GC–MS analysis requires an additional derivatization step to measure 4Hyp (Tredget et al, ). For LC–MS analysis, glycylphenylalanine (Chan et al, ) and N ‐methyl‐ l ‐proline (Yang et al, ; Wang et al, ; Metcalfe et al, ) may serve as internal standards. For MS analysis, however, it is recommended to use a stable isotope‐labeled version of the analyte of interest (Stokvis, Rosing, & Beijnen, ; Lanckmans et al, ).…”
