  • Title: [Extraction of fecal lipids and identification of hydroxystearic acid by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS)].
    Author: Sannolo N, Vajro P, Caporale C, Acampora A, Malorni A.
    Journal: Boll Soc Ital Biol Sper; 1981 Jan 15; 57(1):118-24. PubMed ID: 7248104.
    Abstract:
    Fatty acids and hydroxy fatty acids in the intestine are of interest because of their cathartic properties. We describe a method for extraction of lipids from freeze dried homogenized stools and identification of the hydroxy stearic acid in the fecal lipids pattern by GC-MS. Recovery of 90-95 % shows the efficacy of extraction . Quantitative data of fecal hydroxy stearic acid excretion in some normal and chronic diarrhea affected children are reported.
