Two important markers of oxidative stress, glyoxal and methylglyoxal, are preconcentrated from human urine by surfactant-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction and separated by LC-fluorescence. Derivatization was carried out overnight with 0.8 mM 2,3-diaminonaphthalene at 4°C. For surfactant-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, 500
