Abstract

This chapter describes two different methods using reversed-phase HPLC with electrochemical detection on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) working electrode for the direct, routine, sensitive and simultaneous measurement of a number of aminothiols, disulfides, and thioethers, in either plasma or tissue homogenates.
