The aim of this work was to evaluate, by an untargeted metabolomics approach, changes of milk metabolites induced by the replacement of soybean hulls with cocoa husks in the ewes’ diet. Animals were fed with a soybean diet integrated with 50 or 100 g/d of cacao husks. Milk samples were analyzed by an ultra high performance liquid chromatograph coupled to a time of flight mass spectrometer (UHPLC-QTOF-MS) platform. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that the time of sampling profoundly affected metabolite levels, while differences between treatments were evident at the fourth week of sampling. Cocoa husks seem to induce level changes of milk metabolites implicated in the thyroid hormone metabolism and ubiquinol-10 biosynthesis.

Abstract We describe an integrated, molecular-absorbance, atomic absorption instrument for studying metal/ligand binding in clinical samples. For an interface between the "high-performance" liquid chromatograph and the atomic absorption instrument we used a flow-injection sample manipulator, thus allowing both the chromatograph and the atomic absorption detector to operate at their separate optimum conditions. After specimen separation with a gel permeation column, we measured the molecular components of the column eluate by molecular absorbance spectrometry and the atomic components (calcium and magnesium) by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. This instrument system is capable of separating and analyzing multiple components within 20 min of injection of the sample on the column. The chromatograms presented demonstrate the utility of the system for investigating metal binding to a variety of ligands in clinical samples.

Abstract We demonstrate a liquid-chromatographic method involving post-column derivatization for determining the concentration of thiamin and its phosphate esters in human blood. Blood, erythrocytes, or plasma is deproteinized and centrifuged. Aliquots of the samples are applied to a mu Bondapak C18 column attached to a "high-performance" liquid chromatograph. Addition of potassium ferricyanide/sodium hydroxide solution to the column effluent with a proportioning pump converts thiamin phosphates into fluorophores, the intensities of which are measured with a spectrofluorophotometer. Thiamin, thiamin monophosphate, thiamin pyrophosphate, and thiamin triphosphate eluted as single peaks; no coeluting substances were detected. Thiamin pyrophosphate was the ester present in greatest concentration, followed by thiamin triphosphate; thiamin monophosphate and thiamin were present in slight amounts. This method allows easy determination of thiamin and its phosphate esters in 0.1 mL of blood.
