Effects of feeding bile acids and a bile acid sequestrant on hepatic bile acid composition in mice [PDF]
An improved ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS/MS) method was established for the simultaneous analysis of various bile acids (BA) and applied to investigate liver BA content in C57BL/6 mice fed 1% cholic acid (CA), 0.3% deoxycholic acid (DCA), 0.3% chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), 0.3% lithocholic acid (LCA), 3 ...

Effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on synthesis of cholesterol and bile acids in healthy subjects [PDF]
Background/Aims: Ursodeoxycholic acid ( UDCA) decreases biliary secretion of cholesterol and is therefore used for the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones.

Psychological Stress Associated Bile Acid Reprogramming Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression. [PDF]
Depression is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for chronic diseases, yet its biological impact on cancer remains unclear. Using data from more than 490 000 participants across three international cohorts, we show that depression significantly increases the risk of liver cancer.

Mutational characterization of the bile acid receptor TGR5 in primary sclerosing cholangitis. [PDF]
TGR5, the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1), has been linked to inflammatory pathways as well as bile homeostasis, and could therefore be involved in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) a chronic inflammatory bile duct disease. We aimed to
