Bile acids: analysis in biological fluids and tissues Griffiths WJ; Sjovall JJ Lipid Res 2010[Jan]; 51 (1): 23-41The formation of bile acids/bile alcohols is of major importance for the maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis. Besides their functions in lipid absorption, bile acids/bile alcohols are regulatory molecules for a number of metabolic processes. Their effects are structure-dependent, and numerous metabolic conversions result in a complex mixture of biologically active and inactive forms. Advanced methods are required to characterize and quantify individual bile acids in these mixtures. A combination of such analyses with analyses of the proteome will be required for a better understanding of mechanisms of action and nature of endogenous ligands. Mass spectrometry is the basic detection technique for effluents from chromatographic columns. Capillary liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization provides the highest sensitivity in metabolome analysis. Classical gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is less sensitive but offers extensive structure-dependent fragmentation increasing the specificity in analyses of isobaric isomers of unconjugated bile acids. Depending on the nature of the bile acid/bile alcohol mixture and the range of concentration of individuals, different sample preparation sequences, from simple extractions to group separations and derivatizations, are applicable. We review the methods currently available for the analysis of bile acids in biological fluids and tissues, with emphasis on the combination of liquid and gas phase chromatography with mass spectrometry.|Animals[MESH]|Bile Acids and Salts/*analysis/metabolism[MESH]|Body Fluids/*chemistry/metabolism[MESH]|Cholestanols/*analysis/metabolism[MESH]|Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid[MESH]|Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Mass Spectrometry[MESH]|Spectrometry, Mass, Electrospray Ionization[MESH] |
