Quantitative determination of fecal bile acids as their methyl ether methyl esters by the repetitive scan technique

Summary: | Quantification of bile acids has been carried out by selected ion monitoring and by repetitive scanning. The latter method has been explored critically and found to be very suitable. A 24 h collection of feces was submitted to Soxhlet extraction. The extract was purified on Servachrom XAD-2, and separated into sulfated and non-sulfated fractions over DEAP-Sephadex-LH20. Conjugated and sulfated bile acids were enzymatically deconjugated and desulfated prior to permethylation. Deuterated bile acid derivatives were added as external standards and an aliquot was injected onto a capillary column of SE-52. The reconstructed chromatogram traces of specific ions were integrated to quantify known bile acids. Spectra of all metabolites were available for identification purposes simultaneously. |
