Soy isoflavones are the subject of many investigations in experimental animals and humans regarding possible modulation of endocrine activity and chemoprevention of carcinogenesis. Genistein and daidzein, the principal biologically active isoflavones in soy, were measured using on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography electrospray mass spectrometry (LC/ES-MS) detection in serum of rats consuming a common open-formula (NIH 31) chow that contained approximately 30 microg each of genistein and daidzein per gram of feed and a specially designed 'soy-free' chow that contained approximately 60-fold lower isoflavones. The use of a restricted-access/reverse phase trap cartridge and automated column switching permitted rapid and robust analytical performance with many injections of plasma onto a reverse phase LC column. Enzymatic deconjugation and a single centrifugation step were the only sample preparation steps required. The limit of detection for the isoflavones, based on the MS responses observed in serum from male and female rats consuming the soy-free chow, was 0.020 microM. The method, which uses deuterated isoflavones as internal standards, was determined to be accurate using spiked control serum (102-110% of added amounts) and precise using spiked control serum and incurred serum (<6% relative standard deviation). The average genistein and daidzein levels were determined in female (0.62 and 0.25 microM, respectively) and male rats (0.35 and 0.20 microM, respectively) consuming the standard diet. The sex difference observed for serum genistein concentrations was statistically significant (p < 0.0001). These results underscore the potential impact of standard open-formula diets on the results from rodent bioassays of biological activity.
