Role of threonine as a potential secondary limiting amino acid in cereal-based substrates for Tenebrio molitor larvae: effects on larval composition and amino acid content

The effects of Thr supplementation in a barley-based substrate on growth performance and protein and amino acid (AA) content of Tenebrio molitor larvae were investigated, considering its potential role as a secondary limiting AA. Sixty larvae per tray (n = 6) were assigned to fiv...

A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based candidate reference measurement procedure for the quantification of vancomycin in human serum and plasma

OBJECTIVES: Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat severe Gram-positive infections; its narrow therapeutic window makes therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) critical. We report the development of a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) candidate re...
