Annals of Hepatology, 2017 The primary bile acids (BAs) are synthetized from colesterol in the liver, conjugated to glycine or taurine to increase their solubility, secreted into bile, concentrated in the gallbladder during fasting, and expelled in the intestine in response to dietary fat, as well as bio-transformed in the colon to the secondary BAs by the gut microbiota ...

Effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on synthesis of cholesterol and bile acids in healthy subjects [PDF]
, 2004 Background/Aims: Ursodeoxycholic acid ( UDCA) decreases biliary secretion of cholesterol and is therefore used for the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones.

In Silico Analysis Identifies Intestinal Transit as a Key Determinant of Systemic Bile Acid Metabolism [PDF]
, 2018 Bile acids fulfill a variety of metabolic functions including regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. Since changes of bile acid metabolism accompany obesity, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and bariatric surgery, there is great interest in their role in ...

Hepatic bile acid uptake: effect of conjugation, hydroxyl and keto groups, and albumin binding
Journal of Lipid Research, 1982 Hepatic extraction of trihydroxy (free, glyco- and tauro-conjugated) dihydroxy, and monohydroxy bile acids has been evaluated in single pass liver perfusion experiments in rats.

Diversification of host bile acids by members of the gut microbiota
Gut Microbes, 2020 Bile acid biotransformation is a collaborative effort by the host and the gut microbiome. Host hepatocytes synthesize primary bile acids from cholesterol.

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

FXR agonists and FGF15 reduce fecal bile acid excretion in a mouse model of bile acid malabsorption
Journal of Lipid Research, 2007 Bile acid malabsorption, which in patients leads to excessive fecal bile acid excretion and diarrhea, is characterized by a vicious cycle in which the feedback regulation of bile acid synthesis is interrupted, resulting in additional bile acid production.

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

Recent advances in understanding bile acid homeostasis [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
F1000Research, 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 ...
