A metabolic pathway for bile acid dehydroxylation by the gut microbiome
The gut microbiota synthesize hundreds of molecules, many of which influence host physiology. Among the most abundant metabolites are the secondary bile acids deoxycholic acid (DCA) and lithocholic acid (LCA), which accumulate at concentrations of around

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 ...

Bile acid receptors FXR and TGR5 signaling in fatty liver diseases and therapy.
Bile acid synthesis is the most significant pathway for catabolism of cholesterol and for maintaining whole body cholesterol homeostasis. Bile acids are physiological detergents that absorb, distribute, metabolize and excrete nutrients, drugs and ...

Bile acid metabolites control Th17 and Treg cell differentiation
Bile acids are abundant in the mammalian gut, where they undergo bacteria-mediated transformation to generate a large pool of bioactive molecules. Although bile acids are known to affect host metabolism, cancer progression and innate immunity, it is ...

Biliary Bicarbonate Secretion Constitutes a Protective Mechanism against Bile Acid-Induced Injury in Man [PDF]
Background: Cholangiocytes expose a striking resistance against bile acids: while other cell types, such as hepatocytes, are susceptible to bile acid-induced toxicity and apoptosis already at micromolar concentrations, cholangiocytes are continuously ...
