    Abstract:
    A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for estimating plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 (25-OHD2) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD3) is described. The method involves plasma extraction, Lipidex 5000 chromatography and HPLC on straight-phase Zorbax-SIL, collecting the 25-OHD2 + 25-OHD3 fractions. These secosteroids are isomerised to their isotachysterol derivatives and re-run in the same HPLC system, monitoring at 290 nm. 3H-Labelled 25-OHD3 is used as an internal standard. The method was evaluated in terms of reproducibility, and recovery of added secosteroids was quantitative. Values obtained using this method were in close agreement with those values obtained on the same plasma sample using gas chromatography--mass spectrometry.
