Notizen:
Alteration of intestinal permeability towards compounds like sugars is an indication of abnormalities observed in some diseases. Measurement of the dual sugar absorption of lactulose and mannitol is a non-invasive test of intestinal permeability. The use of this test is however limited by difficulties in the analysis of sugars in urine at low concentrations. In this study we have developed an analytical procedure for quantitative assay of the lactulose-mannitol pair in urine by high resolution gas chromatography. The minimum detectable amounts are 7.5 pg for lactulose and 4.4 pg for mannitol. The calibration curves are linear in the range of 100-6400 mg L-1. Recoveries are within the range 86-102 % for mannitol and 84-105 % for lactulose.
