Vitamin D
� Essential in bone health (→ rickets, osteoporosis).
� Most tissues/cells in human body possess vitamin D receptors.
� Extra-skeletal benefits, reduced risk for: diabetes, cancer,
neurodegenerative, cardiovascular diseases…
� Significant interest in links between vitamin D and disease.
� Reliable and accurate measurement of status required!

Not endorsed for achieving vit D sufficiency…
Laboratory assessment
� No agreement on reference levels for healthy individuals.
� Common status marker is 25(OH)D → long half-life (21 d).
� Various immunoassay common in clinical analyses.
� Today: LC-MS/MS often coined “gold standard method”.
7
Mass spectral inferences from isobars/isomers
� Issues of LC-MS detection sensitivity.
� Many LC-MS/MS assays for vitamin D use loss of H2O from [M+H]+ as
“specific” transition for MRM.
� Serious problem for specificity as HPLC gives co-eluting isobars.
� Isobaric/isomeric interferences expected in MS/MS → systematic errors
for low resolution QqQ (usually in vitamin D labs!)
� Obvious solution � more structure-diagnostic product ions for MS/MS.
� However…
