Optimized method for evaluation of bile acids from dry or ethanol preserved fecal samples as a tool for the identification of wild carnivores
We optimize several aspects involved in the method for a reliable, more simple, and easy obtaining of bile acids (AB) and cholesterol (Co) from the feces of wild carnivores, including: selection of the optimal developer; adaptation of the mobile phase in a first chromatographic evaluation; optimizat...

description | We optimize several aspects involved in the method for a reliable, more simple, and easy obtaining of bile acids (AB) and cholesterol (Co) from the feces of wild carnivores, including: selection of the optimal developer; adaptation of the mobile phase in a first chromatographic evaluation; optimization of separation through a second chromatographic evaluation with another mobile phase; the use of minimal amounts of both fecal sample (mg) or the ethanolic solution (uL) in which the former were preserved. The new procedure is simpler and easily reproducible, and thus it turns out to be an analytic, non-invasive, and feasible tool for the identification of wild carnivores by means of the AB within their feces. In order to probe the method, we analyzed feces from Puma concolor, Panthera onca, Canis lupus baileyi, and Canis latrans maintained in captivity, which are also described and, therefore, we also present for the first time, the profile of AB for the Mexican wolf. |

Se optimizan varios aspectos involucrados en el método para una obtención confiable, más sencilla y expedita de ácidos biliares (AB) y colesterol (Co), a partir de excretas de carnívoros silvestres, incluyendo: la selección de un revelador óptimo; la adecuación de la fase móvil en una primera evaluación cromatográfica; la optimización de la separación, mediante una segunda evaluación cromatográfica con su propia fase móvil; el uso de cantidades mínimas de muestra fecal (mg); así como de la solución etanólica (uL) en donde fueron preservadas como materia prima. El nuevo método es más sencillo y fácilmente reproducible, por lo que resulta en una herramienta analítica indirecta, no-invasiva y sumamente viable para la identificación de carnívoros silvestres, a partir de los AB en sus excretas. Para probar el método se usaron excretas de Puma concolor, Panthera onca, Canis lupus baileyi y Canis latrans mantenidos en cautiverio, las cuales se describen, por lo que adicionalmente, en este trabajo se presenta por primera vez el perfil de AB en el lobo mexicano.
