Tube choledochoureterostomy: A simple method for bile diversion [PDF]

, 1990
A technique of bile diversion by tube choledochoureterostomy has been devised for the purpose of studying the role of bile in the intestinal absorption of drugs. This method was used in six dogs. No technical difficulties or major complications developed,

Trans-intestinal cholesterol efflux is not mediated through high density lipoprotein

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
Transintestinal cholesterol efflux (TICE) provides an attractive target to increase body cholesterol excretion. At present, the cholesterol donor responsible for direct delivery of plasma cholesterol to the intestine is unknown.

Physiological concentrations of bile acids down-regulate agonist induced secretion in colonic epithelial cells [PDF]

, 2009
In patients with bile acid malabsorption, high concentrations of bile acids enter the colon and stimulate Cl− and fluid secretion, thereby causing diarrhoea. However, deoxycholic acid (DCA), the predominant colonic bile acid, is normally present at lower

Association between cholesterol-phospholipid vesicles and cholesterol crystals in human gallbladder bile [PDF]

, 1989
Rapid aggregation of cholesterol-phospholipid vesicles in gallbladder bile seems to be the first event in the production of cholesterol crystals, a prerequisite for cholesterol gallstone formation.

A Panel of Bile Volatile Organic Compounds Servers as a Potential Diagnostic Biomarker for Gallbladder Cancer

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
As no reliable diagnostic methods are available, gallbladder cancer (GBC) is often diagnosed until advanced stages, resulting in a poor prognosis. In the present study, we assessed whether volatile organic compounds (VOCs) could be used as a diagnostic ...

Indomethacin decreases viscosity of gallbladder bile in patients with cholesterol gallstone disease [PDF]

, 1993
There is experimental evidence that inhibition of cyclooxygenase with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may decrease cholesterol gall-stone formation and mitigate biliary pain in gall-stone patients.

Association of diverse bacterial communities in human bile samples with biliary tract disorders: a survey using culture and polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis methods [PDF]

, 2016
Bacterial infection is considered a predisposing factor for disorders of the biliary tract. This study aimed to determine the diversity of bacterial communities in bile samples and their involvement in the occurrence of biliary tract diseases. A total of

Decreased expression of breast cancer resistance protein in the duodenum in patients with obstructive cholestasis [PDF]

, 2006
Background/Aims: The expression of transporters involved in bile acid homeostasis is differentially regulated during obstructive cholestasis. Since the drug efflux transporter breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is known to transport bile acids, we ...

Quantitation of cholesterol-carrying particles in human gallbladder bile

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
The inter-mixed micellar/vesicular (non-phospholipid-associated) bile salt concentration (IMC) can be rapidly measured in model biles by centrifugal ultrafiltration, thus allowing reliable separation of vesicular and micellar cholesterol carriers by gel ...

Nexus between renewable energy and agricultural productivity in Somalia: Evidence from Fragile Foundations

Cogent Food & Agriculture
Somalia has considerable land deterioration due to soil erosion and deforestation. These environmental stresses reduce agricultural productivity. Despite these challenges, the nation has renewable energy sources that haven’t been used yet.
