N2 - Nitric oxide (NO), the endogenous modulator of vascular tone and structure, originates from oxidation of L-arginine catalysed by NO synthase (NOS). The L-arginine derivative L-homoarginine serves as an alternative NOS substrate releasing NO, competing with L-arginine for NOS, arginase, and arginine transport. In the present article we report a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-tandem MS) method for the determination of L-homoarginine in human plasma by stable-isotope dilution. L-[(13)C(6)]-Homoarginine was used as internal standard. This method provides high sample throughput of 25-?l aliquots of plasma with an analysis time of 4 min using LC-tandem MS electrospray ionisation in the positive mode (ESI+). Specific transitions for L-homoarginine and L-[(13)C(6)]-homoarginine were m/z 245 ? m/z 211 and m/z 251 ? m/z 217, respectively. The mean intra- and interassay CVs were 7.4 ± 4.5% (±SD) for 0.1-50 ?mol/L and 7.5 ± 2.0% for 2 and 5 ?mol/L, respectively. Applying this method, a mean plasma concentration of L-homoarginine of 2.5 ± 1.0 ?mol/L was determined in 136 healthy humans.
