| Abstract | The synthesis of bile salts from cholesterol is a complex biochemical pathway involving at least 16 enzymes. Most inborn errors of bile acid biosynthesis result in excessive formation of intermediates and/or their metabolites that accumulate in blood and are excreted in part in urine. Early detection is important as oral therapy with bile acids results in improvement. In the past, these intermediates in bile acid biosynthesis have been detected in neonatal blood or urine by screening with FAB-MS followed by detailed characterization using GC-MS. Both methods have proved difficult to automate, and currently most laboratories screen candidate samples using LC-MS/MS. Here, we describe a new, simple and sensitive analytical method for the identification and characterization of 39 conjugated and unconjugated bile acids, including Δ(4)-3-oxo- and Δ(4,6)-3-oxo-bile acids (markers for Δ(4)-3-oxo-steroid 5ß-reductase deficiency), using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). In this procedure a concentrated, desalted urinary sample (diluted with ethanol) is injected directly into the LC-ESI-MS/MS, operated with ESI and in the negative ion mode; quantification is obtained by selected reaction monitoring (SRM). To evaluate the performance of our new method, we compared it to a validated method using GC-MS, in the analysis of urine from two patients with genetically confirmed Δ(4)-3-oxo-steroid 5ß-reductase deficiency as well as a third patient with an elevated concentration of abnormal conjugated and unconjugated Δ(4)-3-oxo-bile acids. The Δ(4)-3-oxo-bile acids concentration recovered in three patients with 5ß-reductase deficiency were 48.8, 58.9, and 49.4 µmol/mmol creatinine, respectively by LC-ESI-MS/MS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
