Intestinal permeability can be modified by various illnesses, trauma and sepsis. Alterations of the intestinal wall can facilitate the diffusion of potentially harmful substances such as endotoxins, as well as bacterial translocation. We describe the validation of a capillary gas chromatographic method for the determination of mannitol and lactulose, used as intestinal permeability probes. The method is linear up to 3 g/l for mannitol and 300 mg/l for lactulose; recovery from overload samples is between 92 to 110%. Intra-assay coefficients of variation (C.V.s) were 2.7 and 6.8% for mannitol and lactulose, respectively, and inter-assay C.V.s were 8.9 and 9.3%. Normal values for 25 healthy subjects (mean +/- S.D.) were 14.5 +/- 3.1% and 0.27 +/- 0.15% for mannitol and lactulose, respectively. The GC method presented is rapid and precise.
