5-HT reacts with one or two MGO/GO to form a set of reaction products. The reaction between 5-HT and MGO or GO was faster at higher concentrations of MGO/GO (<10 min), and the same products were found even at physiological concentrations (<48 h). The LC/MS/MS (SRM) method can be used to screen the reaction products when present at low levels.
