Abstract
The insulin-like-growth-factor-I (IGF-I) peptide is known to be a marker for growth hormone administration. The development of a quantification method by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is required. This paper describes a method to quantify IGF-I using the internal standard R3 IGF-I in its oxidized forms. A deconvolution software was used to quantify the set of multi-charged molecules recorded on an ESI ion trap mass spectrometer. The results (i.e., linearity, reproducibility and concentration range) were obtained on standard samples and the described LC-ESI-MS method should be applicable to biological samples.
