Simultaneous determination of serum retinol and alpha- and gamma-tocopherol levels in type II diabetic patients using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.
This paper presents a simple reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of retinol, and alpha- and gamma-tocopherols in human serum using a fluorescence detector. For chromatographic separation a binary gradient was used: phase A; acetonitrile-butanol (95:5); phase B; water, at a flow-rate of 1.5 ml/min. Serum retinol, and alpha- and gamma-tocopherol levels were measured in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Small sample requirement, good reproducibility and sensitivity make this method useful for the determination of the serum levels of these compounds in patients with diabetes mellitus.
