Determination of lipids, including medium-chain fatty acids, in human feces.

چکیده
In this method for determining fecal lipids, feces are saponified with ethanolic potassium hydroxide, the ethanol is evaporated, and the acidified residue extracted with hexane. An aliquot of the hexane solution is then titrated with ethanolic sodium hydroxide, the solvents are evaporated, and the residue (soaps and unsaponifiable matter) is weighed. The unsaponifiable matter is extracted with acetone and determined gravimetrically. The method thus permits the determination of milli-equivalents of fatty acids, total lipids, and fatty acids in one sample and is applicable to feces containing medium-chain fatty acids and their triglycerides.

Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease and free fatty acids, as signaling molecules, can play a crucial role in the development of it. Different free fatty acids, through various cell membrane receptors, induce different effects on metabolic pathways and thereby affect insulin sensitivity. Simvastatin is a cholesterol decreasing drug prescrib...

The lipids of rat milk, the contents of 9-- 10-day-old rat stomach and intestine, lymph, plasma, and liver were quantitated and their fatty acids were analyzed. Rat milk consists of 97% triacylglycerols, of which 35% of the fatty acids are of medium chain length (C8-C12). However, stomach triacylglycerols show a 25% reduction in medium chain fatty acids, which indicates preferential hydrolysis ...
