Abstract:

A selective and highly sensitive analytical methodology for determination of Bisphenol A in human plasma was developed and validated. The method was based on selective liquid/solid extraction, combined with liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring mode and negative ionization. The linearity of the detector response was verified in human plasma over the concentration range 0.100-200ngmL(-1). The detection limit was 0.03ngmL(-1) and the quantification limit was 0.100ngmL(-1). The analytical features of the proposed in-house validated method were satisfactory: precision was<10% and recoveries were around 84-104%. The matrix effect was studied and compensated using deuterated labeled standard. The applicability of the proposed method was demonstrated analyzing human plasma samples from individuals affected by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Bisphenol A was detected above the detection limit in all samples. The data show a persistence of unconjugated Bisphenol A levels in plasma and indicate a chronic Bisphenol A exposure of the target organ, suggesting an association between liver health status and Bisphenol A exposure. The results from our study are valuable for further investigation with large sample size and longitudinal study designs, necessary to confirm the observed association.
