Automated metabolic profiling of organic acids in human urine. I. Description of methods.

چکیده
We describe a complete procedure for separation and mechanized analysis of organic acids in human urine. The acid fraction of urine is separated by anion-exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex. Individual acids are identified and measured by use of a gas-chromatography/mass spectrometer/computer system that can clearly distinguish contributions from at least 150 substances in a single sample. We discuss analytical recoveries, contributions from the sample separation process, stability of stored samples before and after processing, and reproducibility of the extraction procedure.

Background: Organic acids refer to a family of compounds that are intermediates in a variety of metabolic pathways. Many organic acids are present in urine from clinically normal individuals. Elevated levels of urine organic acids cause to the organic acidurias, disorders in which some metabolic pathways in organic acid metabolism are blocked. The present work identified major and minor urinary...

Background: Urinary organic acids are water-soluble intermediates and end products of the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and a number of other metabolic processes. In the hereditary diseases known as organic acidurias, an enzyme or co-factor defect in a metabolic pathway leads to the accumulation and increased excretion of one or more of these acidic metabolites. Gas chromato...

Normalized median, minimum, and maximum values (analytical concentration factors) are given for 134 organic acids in urine of nine adult control subjects, five juvenile control subjects, and five children with neuroblastoma. The organic acids, separated by anion-exchange chromatography, were analyzed by a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer-computer system. Sixty substances in this fraction are...
