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

An approximate cooperativity analysis by DSC of phase transitions of DPPC-DOCNa dispersions [PDF]
arXiv, 2001 The effect of solute, sodium deoxycholate bile salt (DOCNa), on the cooperativity of ordered-fluid, fosfolipid phase transition has been investigated by determining of the transition widths in multibilayer dispersions of the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)-DOCNa mixtures. The DT1/2 values were determined by differential scanning calorimetry.
