A liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was established to quantify sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid, NANA) from human lipoproteins.The method was used to investigate the content difference of liproprotein NANA between diabetic (average age 51.6 years) and healthy participants (average age 50.7 years).Sialic acid from lipoprotein samples were released by acetic acid (pH=2) at 80 ℃ for 2 h and analyzed by the optimized LC-MS/MS method after high speed centrifugation and filtration.The limit of detection and quantification of NANA was 7.4 and 24.5 pg, respectively.
