Unconjugated Bile Acids and Alcohols Inhibit Degranulation of Stimulated RBL-2H3 Cells

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Background: Steroid hormones are widely used as anti-allergic drugs because of their potent anti-inflammatory properties and ability to suppress histamine release by 60–80%.

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.

Relation of Gallbladder Motility to Viscosity and Composition of Gallbladder Bile in Patients with Cholesterol Gallstones [PDF]

, 2009
Background/Aims: Increased viscosity and supersaturation of cholesterol in gallbladder bile, as well as an impaired motility of the gallbladder, are considered to be important factors in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones.

Occurrence of bile alcohol glucuronides in bile of patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis

Journal of Lipid Research, 1980
Using thin-layer chromatography, bile alcohol glucuronides were found with taurine- and glycine-conjugated bile acids in the bile of four patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis.

Identification of new bile alcohols, 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,24,26-tetrol, 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,25,26-tetrol, and 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,26,27-tetrol in human gallbladder bile.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1990
The nature of cholestanetetrols present as the glucurono-conjugates in human gallbladder bile was studied. Glucurono-conjugated bile alcohols were isolated by ion exchange chromatography and, after enzymatic hydrolysis, were fractionated by reversed ...

Fibronectin in human gallbladder bile: cholesterol pronucleating and/or mucin "link" protein? [PDF]

, 1994
Some biliary proteins (pronucleators) seem to be essential factors for cholesterol crystal formation and crystal growth in bile. A recent study suggests that fibronectin is such a pronucleator in bile.

Occurrence of bile alcohols in the bile of a patient with cholestasis.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1980
Considerable amounts (6.0 mumol/ml of bile) of bile alcohols were found in the bile of a patient with cholestasis due to gallstones in a common bile duct.

Bile Acid Induced Diarrhoea Pathophysiological and Clinical Aspects [PDF]

, 2008
A common cause for referral to gastroenterologists is chronic watery diarrhoea. Approximately 40% of these patients have idiopathic bile acid malabsorption (BAM) – a condition with unknown aetiology.

Bile acids and bile alcohols of bullfrog.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1980
Gallbladder bile of the bullfrog, Rana cetesbeiana was found to contain a number of minor bile acids and bile alcohols in unconjugated forms. The following bile acids and bile alcohols were identified by combined gas-liquid chromatography-mass ...
