Assessment of one-carbon status.
Method: GC-MS/MS.
Patient/subject: Prandial status affects concentration, which increases slightly after a protein rich meal.
Matrix: Serum or EDTA plasma. The concentration is about 25 % higher in serum than in plasma.
Volume: Minimum volume is 50 µL, but 200 µL is optimal and allows reanalysis.
Preparation and stability: There is a time-dependent increase in glycine in serum.
Frozen, on dry ice. (for general instruction on transportation, click here)
Reported values: 150-350 µmol/L.
Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC): 0.81.
