Bile salt biotransformations by human intestinal bacteria
Journal of Lipid Research, 2006 Secondary bile acids, produced solely by intestinal bacteria, can accumulate to high levels in the enterohepatic circulation of some individuals and may contribute to the pathogenesis of colon cancer, gallstones, and other gastrointestinal (GI) diseases.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of conjugated bile salt hydrolase from Bifidobacterium longum [PDF]
, 1921 Conjugated bile salt hydrolase (BSH) catalyses the hydrolysis of the amide bond that conjugates bile acids to glycine and to taurine. The BSH enzyme from Bifidobacterium longum was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), purified and crystallized ...

A new insight into the physiological role of bile salt hydrolase among intestinal bacteria from the genus Bifidobacterium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 This study analyzes the occurrence of bile salt hydrolase in fourteen strains belonging to the genus Bifidobacterium. Deconjugation activity was detected using a plate test, two-step enzymatic reaction and activity staining on a native polyacrylamide gel.

Microorganisms, 2021 Lactobacillus gasseri is one of the most likely probiotic candidates among many Lactobacillus species. Although bile salt resistance has been defined as an important criterion for selection of probiotic candidates since it allows probiotic bacteria to ...

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.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997 Bile salts are surfactants that partition into phospholipid bilayers. When liposomes or membranes are exposed to mixed solutions of bile salts, the more hydrophobic bile salt species associate preferentially with the lipid bilayer.

Wormlike reverse micelles in lecithin/bile salt/water mixtures in oil [PDF]
, 2017 Knowing the ability of water and bile salts to promote the reverse wormlike micelle growth in lecithin/water or lecithin/bile salt mixtures in oil, this work was aimed at elucidating the association properties of the three solutes lecithin, water and the

Role of bile salt hydrophobicity in hepatic microtubule-dependent bile salt secretion
Journal of Lipid Research, 1994 Under basal conditions, bile salt secretion by the liver is not affected by microtubule disruption. However, when a bile salt load is imposed on the liver, a microtubule-dependent secretion mechanism is recruited (J. Lipid Res. 1988. 29: 144-156).

Taurocholate-stimulated leukotriene C4 biosynthesis and leukotriene C4-stimulated choleresis in isolated rat liver [PDF]
, 1995 BACKGROUND/AIMS: Cysteinyl-containing leukotrienes seem to exert a cholestatic effect. However, leukotriene inhibitors were found to reduce bile salt efflux in isolated rat hepatocytes, suggesting a role for leukotrienes in bile flow formation. METHODS:
