| Abstract | Gonadotropin-releasing hormones (GnRH) are neuropeptide hormones that regulate reproduction in vertebrates. Twenty-five unique chordate GnRH isoforms have been identified, all with very similar molecular architecture. Identification and quantification of endogenous GnRH in biological samples is extremely challenging due to the high levels of sequence similarity among these GnRH peptides and complexity of the biological matrices laden with large numbers of other peptides and protein degradation fragments, and due to low levels of GnRH abundance. In this study, three lamprey GnRH (lGnRH-I, -II, and -III) were extracted from sea lamprey brain tissue and plasma samples by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and identified by a high resolution Q-TOF mass spectrometry (MS). A rapid quantitation method was developed and validated to determine the concentrations of these three lGnRHs by using a UPLC coupled tandem MS in positive ESI multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Luteinizing hormone-release hormone (LHRH, one of the mammalian GnRHs) was used as the internal standard. The developed quantitation method was fully validated for its recovery, matrix effect, linearity, repeatability, precision and accuracy, and storage stability. This method exhibited excellent linearity in a broad concentration range for all three lGnRHs (R(2)>0.99) and limits of detection (LOD; as low as 0.007 ng/mL). Brain and plasma samples from a total of 280 sea lampreys were analyzed with the developed method to investigate the biological relevance of the lGnRH levels. The concentrations of these three lGnRHs were detected at levels of pictogram per microgram brain tissue and milliliter of plasma. The obtained analytical performance parameters and collected data from real biological samples have proven that this is a robust, sensitive, and fully validated LC-MS/MS method to simultaneously quantify three neuropeptide hormones in complex biological matrices. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
