We have developed a mass spectrometry-based method that allows one to accurately determine the glucose concentration of tear fluid. We used a 1 microL micro-capillary to collect tear fluid from the tear meniscus with minimal irritation of the eye. We analyzed the 1 muL volume of collected tear fluid with liquid-chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry with the use of D-glucose-6,6-d2 as an internal standard. Repeated measurements and a recovery experiment on pooled, onion-induced tears showed that the analysis of the glucose in tears was precise (4% relative standard deviation) and provided 100% recovery. We found the tear glucose concentration of one fasting nondiabetic subject to be 13 to 51 microM while the onion-induced tear glucose concentration of a different nondiabetic subject to be 211 to 256 microM.
我们开发了一种基于质谱的方法,可精确测定泪液中的葡萄糖浓度。我们使用1微升微量毛细管从泪液弯月面收集泪液,对眼睛的刺激最小。我们以D-葡萄糖-6,6-d2作为内标,采用液相色谱电喷雾电离质谱法分析1微升收集的泪液。对汇集的、洋葱诱导产生的泪液进行重复测量和回收率实验表明,泪液中葡萄糖的分析精确(相对标准偏差为4%),回收率为100%。我们发现一名空腹非糖尿病受试者的泪液葡萄糖浓度为13至51微摩尔,而另一名非糖尿病受试者洋葱诱导产生的泪液葡萄糖浓度为211至256微摩尔。
