Title

Rapid determination of corticosterone in mouse plasma by ultra fast liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

Overall design

In this study, a simple, highly sensitive and specific method based on ultra-fast liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed for the quantitation of corticosterone in mouse plasma for the first time, which provides technical support for the high-throughput measurement for clinical determination of corticosterone in biological samples. Mice were divided into the following 2 groups (n = 6 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CMS group. The CMS stress procedure lasted for 3 weeks.
