Mutational characterization of the bile acid receptor TGR5 in primary sclerosing cholangitis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
TGR5, the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1), has been linked to inflammatory pathways as well as bile homeostasis, and could therefore be involved in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) a chronic inflammatory bile duct disease. We aimed to

Gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry of trimethylsilyl ethers of bile alcohols.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1978
This report describes the gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GLC-MS) of the trimethylsilyl ethers of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-triol with mono- or dihydroxy substitution in the side chain.

Bile salts of the toad, Bufo marinus: characterization of a new unsaturated higher bile acid, 3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,26-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-cholest-23-en-27-oic acid.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1994
The bile salts present in gallbladder bile of the toad, Bufo marinus, were found to consist of a mixture of bile alcohol sulfates and unconjugated bile acids.

Analysis of Bile Acids

open access: yes, 2010
Bile acids constitute a large family of steroids in vertebrates, normally formed from cholesterol and carrying a carboxyl group in a side-chain of variable length. Bile alcohols, also formed from cholesterol, have similar structures as bile acids, except

A Link between cholesterol levels and phenobarbital induction of cytochromes P450 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Squalestatin1 (SQ1), a potent inhibitor of squalene synthase produced a dose-dependent induction of cytochromes P450 CYP2H1 and CYP3A37 mRNAs in chicken hepatoma cells. The effect of SQ1 was completely reversed by 25-hydroxycholesterol.

Evolution of the bile salt nuclear receptor FXR in vertebrates*s⃞

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2008
Bile salts, the major end metabolites of cholesterol, vary significantly in structure across vertebrate species, suggesting that nuclear receptors binding these molecules may show adaptive evolutionary changes.

Role of CYP27A in cholesterol and bile acid metabolism

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
The CYP27A gene encodes a mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme, sterol 27-hydroxylase, that is expressed in many different tissues and plays an important role in cholesterol and bile acid metabolism. In humans, CYP27A deficiency leads to cerebrotendinous

Cholic acid biosynthesis: conversion of 5β-cholestane-3α,7α,12α,25-tetrol into 5β-cholestane-3α,7α, 12α,24β,25-pentol by human and rat liver microsomes

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1977
This paper describes the conversion of 5β-cholestane-3α,7α,12α,25-tetrol into 5β-cholestane-3α,7α,12α,24β,25-pentol by liver microsomes. A sensitive radioactive assay for measuring the formation of 5β-cholestane-3α,7α,12α,24β,25-pentol was developed ...

A frequent variant in the human bile salt export pump gene ABCB11 is associated with hepatitis C virus infection, but not liver stiffness in a German population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: The human ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B, member 11 (ABCB11) gene encodes the bile salt export pump, which is exclusively expressed at the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes.
