Suppression of bile acid synthesis as a tipping point in the disease course of primary sclerosing cholangitis [PDF]
Background & Aims: Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists and fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) analogues suppress bile acid synthesis and are being investigated for their potential therapeutic efficacy in cholestatic liver diseases.

Myostatin Knockout Regulates Bile Acid Metabolism by Promoting Bile Acid Synthesis in Cattle [PDF]
Myostatin (MSTN) is a major negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass and causes a variety of metabolic changes. However, the effect of MSTN knockout on bile acid metabolism has rarely been reported.

Inhibition of the Primary Bile Acid Synthesis Pathways in SD Rats at Different Altitudes [PDF]
Bile acids, the primary constituents of mammalian bile, are synthesized in the liver from cholesterol and secreted into the intestine to perform essential physiological functions.

Up to date on cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) in bile acid synthesis
Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1, EC1.14) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the classic bile acid synthesis pathway. Much progress has been made in understanding the transcriptional regulation of CYP7A1 gene expression and the underlying ...

Dimethyl Sulfoxide Inhibits Bile Acid Synthesis in Healthy Mice but Does Not Protect Mice from Bile-Acid-Induced Liver Damage [PDF]
Bile acids serve a vital function in lipid digestion and absorption; however, their accumulation can precipitate liver damage. In our study, we probed the effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on bile acid synthesis and the ensuing liver damage in mice ...

Bile acids are synthesized via the classic pathway initiated by cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), and via alternate pathways, one of which is initiated by sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27).

Isotope dilution within bile acid pools and radiochemical assessment of cholesterol oxidation to bile acids were methods used to measure short-term feedback regulation of bile acid synthesis in baboons with controlled enterohepatic circulations ...

To further define thyroid hormone effects on bile acid synthesis and biliary lipid secretion, studies were done in chronic bile fistula rats. Euthyroid and methimazole-hypothyroid rats, with and without triiodothyronine (T3) injection, had total bile ...

Examination of bile acid negative feedback regulation in rats.
Recent data obtained using cultured rat hepatocytes showed that bile acids do not inhibit bile acid synthesis, whereas cholesterol concentrations vary in parallel with bile acid synthesis (Davis et al. (1983. J. Biol. Chem. 258: 4079-4082).
