“…LC with fluorescence detection has also been applied for the same purpose (Cui et al, 2017; Guo et al, 2021; M. He, Wang, & Wei, 2016; Huang et al, 2018; Huo et al, 2014). However, LC tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) provides higher sensitivity and selectivity (Al Bawab et al, 2020; Alhusban et al, 2021) and has been employed successfully for the determination of various neurotransmitters in brain tissues (Forgacsova et al, 2018; B. He et al, 2013; He, Zhao, et al, 2016; Helmschrodt et al, 2020; Kim et al, 2014; Kuang et al, 2019; Lin et al, 2019; Liu et al, 2018; Nirogi et al, 2010; Olesti et al, 2019; Sørensen & Johannsen, 2019; H. Wang et al, 2012; Wojnicz et al, 2016; Zheng et al, 2017; Zhou et al, 2015).…”
