Journal ArticleDOI
Ethyl glucuronide in hair: Is it a reliable marker of chronic high levels of alcohol consumption?
TL;DR: The concentration of ethyl glucuronide in hair appears to correlate with EDI, and was determined in hair samples from different classes of ethanol drinkers and results were compared with the reported information about drinking habits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of ethyl glucuronide in hair samples by liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry.
TL;DR: The method was applied to several hair samples taken from autopsies of known alcoholics, from patients in withdrawal treatment, from social drinkers, from adult teetotalers and from children not exposed to ethanol, with EtG concentrations globally ranging from < or =2 to 4180 pg/mg.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethyl glucuronide in hair. A sensitive and specific marker of chronic heavy drinking.
TL;DR: The results confirm further that HEtG is a sensitive and specific marker of chronic heavy drinking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of bleaching on ethyl glucuronide in hair: An in vitro experiment
TL;DR: This in vitro study showed that HEtG disappears from hair matrix after a strong hair treatment, and bleaching solutions could lead to a heavy ion suppression of this metabolite that may be avoided by using an SPE purification before instrumental analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implementation and performance evaluation of a database of chemical formulas for the screening of pharmaco/toxicologically relevant compounds in biological samples using electrospray ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
TL;DR: In the frame of development of a ESI-TOF PTRC screening procedure, a subset of PubChem Compound as reference database is proposed, and its performance is evaluated through analysis by capillary electrophoresis of hair/blood/urine collected from subjects under treatment with known drugs or by comparison with reference standards.
