Bile salts and calcium absorption [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1966 1. The study of the effect of bile salts on enhancing calcium absorption in the rachitic chick has been extended to bile salts not present in chick bile, e.g. glycine conjugates and bile alcohol sulphates. 2. Bile and bile salts cause an increase in calcium absorption from sparingly soluble calcium hydrogen phosphate when compared with a suspension of ...

Contribution of vesicular and micellar carriers to cholesterol transport in human bile.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1985 A nonmicellar, bile salt-independent mode of cholesterol transport in human bile involving phospholipid vesicles was recently reported by our group. In the present study, we have investigated the relative contribution of the phospholipid vesicles and ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996 Tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDC), a relatively hydrophilic bile salt, reduces disruption of cholesterol-rich membranes by more hydrophobic bile salts such as taurocholate (TC), taurochenodeoxycholate (TCDC), or taurodeoxycholate (TDC).

Critical tables for calculating the cholesterol saturation of native bile.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1978 A simple method for the rigorous derivation of lithogenic index or percent cholesterol saturation, embodying both relative and total lipid concentrations, is described.

Cells, 2022 Bile salts accumulating during cholestatic liver disease are believed to promote liver fibrosis. We have recently shown that chenodeoxycholate (CDC) induces expansion of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in vivo, thereby promoting liver fibrosis.

Nonspecific high affinity binding of bile salts to carboxylester lipases.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1987 The interactions with bile salts of carboxylester lipases (EC 3.1.1.13) from human pancreatic juice and pig pancreas were characterized by physical methods. Bile salts cause a decrease in the fluorescence intensity of the proteins at the emission maximum

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.

Role of CYP27A in cholesterol and bile acid metabolism
Journal 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

MetabolitesAs an unhealthy dietary habit, a high-salt diet can affect the body’s endocrine system and metabolic processes. As one of the most important metabolites, bile acids can prevent atherosclerosis and reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases ...

Metagenomic analysis of bile salt biotransformation in the human gut microbiome
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background In the biochemical milieu of human colon, bile acids act as signaling mediators between the host and its gut microbiota. Biotransformation of primary to secondary bile acids have been known to be involved in the immune regulation of human ...
