The optimization and validation of a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method to analyze the concentration of acetate, propionate and butyrate in human plasma or serum
Fermentation-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFA)4 are potential mediators of the health benefits associated with dietary fiber intake. SCFA affect physiological processes locally in the gut and on distant organs via the systemic circulation. Since SCFA are used as energy source for colonocytes and substrate for the liver metabolism, their concentrations in the systemic circulation are low. Therefore, quantification of systemic SCFA requires sensitive analytical techniques. This article covers the optimization and validation of a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method to measure systemic SCFA concentrations following derivatization with 2,4-difluoroaniline (DFA)5 and extraction in ethyl acetate. Sample preparation was optimized by varying the amount of DFA, coupling agent 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, ethyl acetate and sodium bicarbonate, which is used to quench derivatization. In addition, evaporation of the samples using a vacuum concentrator resulted in less contamination, notably of acetate, compared to drying with N2 gas. The method showed excellent linearity with coefficient of variation (R2) > 0.99 and a good precision (relative standard deviation < 20 %) and accuracy. Finally, systemic concentrations of SCFA in human plasma samples could successfully be determined.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography B publishes papers on developments in separation science relevant to biology and biomedical research including both fundamental advances and applications. Analytical techniques which may be considered include the various facets of chromatography, electrophoresis and related methods, affinity and immunoaffinity-based methodologies, hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, and microanalytical approaches. The journal also considers articles reporting developments in sample preparation, detection techniques including mass spectrometry, and data handling and analysis.
Developments related to preparative separations for the isolation and purification of components of biological systems may be published, including chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, affinity separations, field flow fractionation and other preparative approaches.
Applications to the analysis of biological systems and samples will be considered when the analytical science contains a significant element of novelty, e.g. a new approach to the separation of a compound, novel combination of analytical techniques, or significantly improved analytical performance.
