Abstract

Abstract

Objective To study the effect of alcohol on endogenous GHB content in human blood. Methods LC-MS/MS inspection method was established in the blood for γ- Hydroxybutyric acid （GHB）, γ- butyrolactone （GBL） and 1,4-butanediol （1,4-BD）. 22 healthy subjects were selected as the research subjects to simulate the real cases of drinking alcohol. The levels of GHB in their blood were detected before and after drinking to compare the endogenous GHB levels in the blood before and after drinking. Results GHB in the concentration range of 0.1～50 μg/mL had a good linear relationship and there was a good linear relationship between GBL and 1,4-BD in the concentration range of 0.15～50 μg/mL （R² > 0.999）.The limits of detection of GHB, GBL and 1,4-BD were 0.015 μg/mL, 0.025 μg/mL and 0.01 μg/mL, respectively, and the limits of GHB, GBL and 1,4-BD quantification were 0.1 μg/mL, 0.15 μg/mL and 0.15 μg/mL. The matrix effects of the three compounds ranged from 18.2% to 20.1%, the recoveries were 81.6% to 92.3%, the intra-day and inter-day precision of RSD were less than 10%, and the accuracy was -5.8%-7.0%. The content of GHB in the blood after 7 hours of drinking were higher than that before drinking alcohol (P < 0.05）, and the concentration range was 0.71-3.81 μg/mL. Conclusion The content of endogenous GHB in human blood has increased after 7 hours of drinking alcohol, but the concentration was lower than 4 μg/mL, which can provide the data support for the assessment of endogenous and exogenous GHB involved in real cases, enriching the forensic toxicology data of GHB .
