A high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure has been developed for the determination of [D-Ala2,D-Leu5]enkephalin (DADLE) and the fragments containing D-leucine in rat blood. The procedure was applied to the determination of blood levels of [3H-D-Leu5]DADLE and the C-terminal fragments after intravenous administration of [3H-D-Leu5]DADLE to a rat. Unlabelled DADLE and the C-terminal fragments were spiked as carriers to rat blood samples and the blood samples were extracted with 1% trifluoroacetic acid in methanol. The recoveries from rat blood were quantitative for all compounds. DADLE and the C-terminal four fragments were well separated on a reversed-phase column with gradient elution using a mobile phase composed of 0.14% HClO4 and acetonitrile.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
