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

open access: yes, 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

Dietary N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decrease biliary cholesterol saturation in gallstone disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Because fatty acid composition of biliary phospholipids influences cholesterol secretion into bile, we investigated whether replacement of n-1 monounsaturated or n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in biliary ...

Diversification of host bile acids by members of the gut microbiota

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2020
Bile acid biotransformation is a collaborative effort by the host and the gut microbiome. Host hepatocytes synthesize primary bile acids from cholesterol.

Formulation of a live bacterial vaccine for stable room temperature storage results in loss of acid, bile and bile salt resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Live bacterial vaccines have great promise both as vaccines against enteric pathogens and as heterologous antigen vectors against diverse diseases. Ideally, room temperature stable dry formulations of live bacterial vaccines will allow oral vaccination ...

Recent advances in understanding bile acid homeostasis [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2017
Bile acids are derived from cholesterol to facilitate intestinal nutrient absorption and biliary secretion of cholesterol. Recent studies have identified bile acids as signaling molecules that activate nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and membrane G ...

A positive SeHCAT test results in fewer subsequent investigations in patients with chronic diarrhoea. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chronic diarrhoea is a common condition, resulting from a number of different disorders. Bile acid diarrhoea, occurring in about a third of these patients, is often undiagnosed.

Bile acids and bile alcohols of bullfrog.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1980
Gallbladder bile of the bullfrog, Rana cetesbeiana was found to contain a number of minor bile acids and bile alcohols in unconjugated forms. The following bile acids and bile alcohols were identified by combined gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry: cholic acid, allocholic acid, 3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 alpha-cholestan-26-oic acid,

Low-dose ursodeoxycholic acid prolongs cholesterol nucleation time in gallbladder bile of patients with cholesterol gallstones [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
The high rate of stone recurrence represents a drawback of non-surgical therapy of cholesterol gallstone disease. Although most studies report that long-term bile acid treatment does not have protective effects, preliminary results suggest that low-dose ...

Navigating cholestasis: identifying inborn errors of bile acid metabolism for precision diagnosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics
Inborn errors of bile acid metabolism (IEBAM) cause cholestasis during the neonatal period, and 8 types of IEBAM have been reported to date. IEBAM accounts for approximately 2% of cases of cholestasis of unknown cause.

Intravital Multiphoton Microscopy with Fluorescent Bile Salts in Rats as an In Vivo Biomarker for Hepatobiliary Transport Inhibition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The bile salt export pump (BSEP) is expressed at the canalicular domain of hepatocytes, where it mediates the elimination of monovalent bile salts into the bile.
