“…LC-MS (and MS/MS) has been exploited for bile acid analysis of human and rodent urine ( 43,55,83,86,97,(99)(100)(101)(102), plasma/serum ( 13,55,97,98,(103)(104)(105)(106)(107)(108)(109)(110), bile ( 13,55,111,112 ), cecal content ( 113,114 ), liver ( 55,97,114 ), feces ( 114 ), and more surprisingly, brain ( 65,115 ). However, care must be taken in interpreting LC-MS data, and to postulate a structure based on the mass of an [M-H] Ϫ ion alone can lead to mistaken identifi cations.…”
