An assay based on isotope-dilution mass spectrometry with deuterium-labeled internal standards was developed for simultaneous quantification of cholest-5-ene-3 beta,7 alpha-diol (7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol), cholest-5 beta,6 beta-epoxy-3 beta-ol (cholesterol-5 beta,6 beta-epoxide), cholest-5 alpha,6 alpha-epoxy-3 beta-ol (cholesterol-5 alpha,6 alpha-epoxide), cholest-5-en-7-one-3 beta-ol (7-oxocholesterol), cholestane-3 beta,5 alpha,6 beta-triol, cholest-5-ene-3 beta,25-diol (25-hydroxycholesterol), and cholest-5-ene-3 beta,26-diol (26-hydroxycholesterol) in one single serum sample. Recovery experiments and replicate analyses showed that the assay was sufficiently sensitive, accurate, and precise. The concentrations of the listed compounds in sera from 19 healthy subjects were determined and are presented.
