Populations with a high colonic cancer incidence excrete larger amounts of bile acids in their feces. Patients with adenomatous polyps of the colon are at a greater risk of developing colonic cancer. Therefore, we studied the fecal bile acid excretion pattern in 12 patients with adenomatous polyps in comparison to 12 control subjects matched for age and sex. Analysis of bile acids was performed using liquid-gel chromatography for the separation of free, conjugated and sulfated bile acids and gas liquid chromatography for quantitation. This case-control study did not confirm the previous finding of an increased fecal bile acid excretion in patients with adenomatous polyps. Total bile acid excretion, the pattern of the primary and major secondary bile acids and their mode of conjugation were essentially the same for both groups. This negative result may be explained by similar dietary habits of both groups.
