Quantitative analyses of 9-HODE, epoxyalcohol, and triols in human
epidermis. The unlabeled products (endogenous) are in the
upper chromatograms and the corresponding
d4 internal standards are in the bottom
chromatograms. A, LC-MS analysis of 9-HODE as the PFB ester,
monitoring m/z 295
(d0) and m/z 299
(d4). B, LC-MS analysis of the main
epoxyalcohol as the PFB ester (d0 at
m/z 311 and d4 at
m/z 315). C, LC-MS
analysis of linoleate triols as the PFB ester DMP derivative
(d0 at m/z 369 and
d4 at m/z 373). The
analyses used normal phase LC-MS with a Thomson Advantage silica column
(25 × 0.46 cm) and solvents of hexane/IPA in the proportions 100:1.5
(v/v) for 9-HODE and epoxyalcohol analyses and 100:1 (v/v) for the triols
with a flow rate in 1 ml/min.
