Description générale

Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are saturated fatty acids with less than 6 carbons. SCFAs are produced in the gut by microbial fermentation of dietary fibers.(1) The most important and researched SCFAs are Acetate (Ac), propionate (Pr) and butyrate (Bu).(2) SCFAs are predominantly found in the colon and cross the intestinal epithelium to the blood stream. SCFAs were found to be beneficial and effective in prevention of obesity, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and insulin resistance.(3,4)

Application

SCFAs can serve in various applications including in vitro and in vivo administration to study the effect on immune system activation(5), protect epithelial cells from LPS penetration by tight junction formation induction(6), effect insulin secretion(7) and more. In these studies, SCFAs were administrated in vitro at the following concentration range Acetate 1-10mM, propionate and butyrate 0.1-1mM and in vivo Acetate, 70 mM; propionate, 30 mM; butyrate, 20 mM.
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have diverse roles in various metabolic processes, and their measurement through metabolomics can provide valuable insights into several applications.

Questions

1–8 of 8 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  3. Using this kit how many times I can perform the study

    1 answer

    1. This kit contains the following components: 100 mL of 1M Sodium acetate, 100 mL of 0.5 M Sodium propionate, 100 mL of 0.5 M Sodium butyrate, and 1 mL of a short chain fatty acid mix composed of 0.1 M Sodium Acetate, Sodium Propionate, and Sodium Butyrate. Derivation reaction mixtures for detection by LC-MS/HPLC can be prepared as discussed in Table 1 of the technical bulletin.

      https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/product/documents/593/831/SBR00030bul.pdf

      Sodium acetate: 100 mL/0.1mL per derivation = 1000 derivations
      Sodium propionate: 100 mL/0.2 mL per derivation = 500 derivations
      Sodium Butyrate: 100 mL/0.2 mL per derivation =500 derivations
      Short Chain Fatty Acid Mix: 1 mL/0.1 mL per derivation = 10 derivations

      Please be aware the procedure provides instructions for HPLC, LC-MS and GC-MS analysis. Sample preparation will vary based upon type of analysis.

  8. Hello is it possible to use this kit for measuring SCFA in fish? please let me know

    1 answer

    1. Unfortunately, there are no guidelines for using this product to measure short-chain fatty acids in a fish sample. Assuming, there is a means to extract the short-chained fatty acids from a fish sample it may be possible to use this kit. Another concern is that the sample will need to be cleaned up with a sample preparation technique before utilizing LC-MS or GC-MS. It may be possible to use this kit for this purpose, but research and method development would be necessary to determine suitability for the intended application.
