The liver fluke Clonorchis sinensis inhabits the bile ducts, where bile concentration disparities across the fluke cell membrane can cause bile intoxication. Sodium-bile acid co-transporter (SBAT) plays a crucial role in bile acid recycling.

In Silico Analysis Identifies Intestinal Transit as a Key Determinant of Systemic Bile Acid Metabolism [PDF]
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 ...

Bile Acids in Porcine Fetal Bile.
A study of the biliary bile acid composition in porcine fetus compared with that of the adult pig is described. Biles, collected during gestation (weeks 4, 15 to 17 and at birth), aged six months and two years old, were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography and capillary GC-MS. Bile acids were separated into different conjugate groups by chromatography

Quantification of the 15 major human bile acids and their precursor 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one in serum by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry [PDF]
Bile acids are increasingly gaining attention since they were discovered to be activators of the transcription factor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in addition to their well-established role in dietary lipid emulsification.

Liver‐specific lncRNAs associated with liver cancers
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory molecules with various functions. They are more tissue‐specific than proteins and can be used as potential biomarkers, particularly in cancer diagnostics and prognosis. In this review, we have systematically compiled all lncRNAs with exclusive expression in the human liver, verified their liver specificity ...

In vitro modeling of bile acid processing by the human fecal microbiota [PDF]
Bile acids, the products of concerted host and gut bacterial metabolism, have important signaling functions within the mammalian metabolic system and a key role in digestion.

Effect of phospholipids and bile acids on cholesterol nucleation time and vesicular/micellar cholesterol in gallbladder bile of patients with cholesterol stones [PDF]
Supersaturation and rapid nucleation of cholesterol in bile are of key importance in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones. While the effects of bile acids and phospholipids on cholesterol saturation of bile have been extensively studied, their ...
