Abstract
An improved method for the isolation and quantitation of bile acids from rat feces was developed. This method employs an initial Soxhlet extraction of the solid fecal material, esterification of the bile acid fraction with dry methanol/HCl and quantitation using a combination of tlc and glc techniques. In addition, identification of the individual components of the fecal bile acid fraction is accomplished by tlc and glc-ms. This method has proven useful for the quantitation and identification of the fecal bile acids during sterol metabolism measurements.
