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.

Identification of unconjugated bile acids in human bile.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1990 Unconjugated bile acids in the bile of healthy and diseased humans were determined qualitatively and quantitatively by means of gas-liquid chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, after their isolation by ion-exchange ...

Experimental isovalthinuria. III. Induction by bile acids, and hypocholesterolemic agents [PDF]
, 1963 Some bile acids (dehydrocholic, cholic, chenodeoxycholic, ursodeoxycholic, and deoxycholic acids), and some hypocholesterolemic agents (22, 25 diazacholestanol, 20,25-diazacholesterol, triparanol, and SKF 525-A) are the inducers of isovalthinuria in ...

Cholestasis impairs gut microbiota development and bile salt hydrolase activity in preterm neonates
Gut Microbes, 2023 Cholestasis refers to impaired bile flow from the liver to the intestine. In neonates, cholestasis causes poor growth and may progress to liver failure and death.

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

Fasting levels of monoketonic bile acids in human peripheral and portal circulation
Journal of Lipid Research, 1982 It has been suggested that large amounts of ketonic bile acids may be present in portal venous blood. We have therefore determined the approximate concentration of 3-oxo-, 7-oxo-, and 12-oxo-bile acids (monoketonic bile acids) in human peripheral and ...

A Role of the Bile Salt Receptor FXR in Atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2010 This study reviews current insights into the role of bile salts and bile salt receptors on the progression and regression of atherosclerosis. Bile salts have emerged as important modifiers of lipid and energy metabolism.

Bile salts of vertebrates: structural variation and possible evolutionary significance[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2010 Biliary bile salt composition of 677 vertebrate species (103 fish, 130 reptiles, 271 birds, 173 mammals) was determined. Bile salts were of three types: C27 bile alcohols, C27 bile acids, or C24 bile acids, with default hydroxylation at C-3 and C-7.
