Abstract excerpt
Background: Total nicotine equivalents (TNE), the sum of nicotine and metabolites in urine, is a valuable tool for evaluating nicotine exposure. Most methods for measuring TNE involve two-step enzymatic hydrolysis for indirect quantification of glucuronide metabolites. Here, we describe a rapid, low-cost direct LC/MS assay.Methods: In 139 smokers' urine samples, Bland-Altman, correlation, and regression analyses...
