Quantitative Separation of Radioactive Sterols and Bile Acids in Human Faeces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is described for the quantitative separation of radioactive bile acids and neutral sterols in human faeces on a potassium hydroxide-treated silicic acid column. Results obtained with faecal extracts containing metabolites derived from radioactive cholesterol, cholic acid, and chenodeoxycholic acid show that the efficiency of extraction is at least 96% and that mutual contamination between the bile-acid and sterol fractions is between 0.7 and 3.8%. The method gives better results than one based on separation of the faecal steroids into saponifiable and unsaponifiable material.

Centrifugation of Faeces
A method is described for the separation of a diarrhoeal stool into solid and liquid phases. The seven patients studied had varying degrees of ileal resection. Faecal bile acids were measured in supernatant and pellet. Freeze-dried pellet of the patients had significantly higher bile acid content than freeze-dried faeces of the eight controls (patients mean = 55.8 mg bile acids/ g freeze-dried ...
متن کاملGeneral methods for the analysis of metabolic profiles of bile acids and related compounds in feces.
A general method is described for the detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis of bile acids and related compounds from feces. The technique utilizes a novel combination of liquid-gel and liquid-solid extraction, lipophilic ion exchange chromatography, and capillary column gas-liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, which permits the detailed composition of bile acids in feces...
متن کاملThe use of stable and radioactive sterol tracers as a tool to investigate cholesterol degradation to bile acids in humans in vivo.
Alterations of cholesterol homeostasis represent important risk factors for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Different clinical-experimental approaches have been devised to study the metabolism of cholesterol and particularly the synthesis of bile acids, its main catabolic products. Most evidence in humans has derived from studies utilizing the administration of labeled sterols; thes...
متن کاملHighly simplified method for gas-liquid chromatographic quantitation of bile acids and sterols in human stool.
A simple method for the gas-liquid chromatographic quantitation of human fecal bile acids and sterols is described where bile acids are subjected to n-butyl ester derivatization, without prior isolation from the stool, followed by trimethylsilylation of the sterols and bile acids. Under these conditions, bile acid derivatives are well resolved from each other and from the trimethylsilyl ether d...
متن کاملLipid absorption, bile acids, and cholesterol metabolism in patients with chronic liver disease.
Faecal bile acids and neutral sterols of cholesterol origin were decreased in patients with chronic liver disease, while urinary bile acids were constantly, but never greatly, increased. Thus, production of cholesterol and its conversion to bile acids was decreased in these patients. Faecal fat was only slightly increased, even in cases with a very low bile salt output, but it was negatively co...
