Evolutionary diversity of bile salts in reptiles and mammals, including analysis of ancient human and extinct giant ground sloth coprolites

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background Bile salts are the major end-metabolites of cholesterol and are also important in lipid and protein digestion and in influencing the intestinal microflora.

Cholesterol attenuates cytoprotective effects of phosphatidylcholine against bile salts

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Bile salts have potent detergent properties and damaging effects on cell membranes, leading to liver injury. However, the molecular mechanisms for the protection of hepatocytes against bile salts are not fully understood.

Interactions of cationic bile salt derivatives with the ileal bile salt transport system.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1975
Previous structure-activity studies of the active ileal bile salt transport system have demonstrated that a single negative charge on the side chain is essential for active transport. Furthermore, mutual inhibition studies between different pairs of bile

Ligand entry in human ileal bile acid-binding protein is mediated by histidine protonation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Human ileal bile acid-binding protein (hI-BABP) has a key role in the intracellular transport of bile salts. To explore the role of histidine protonation in the binding process, the pH-dependence of bile salt binding and internal dynamics in hI-BABP was ...

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.

Kinetics of formation of bile salt micelles from coarse-grained Langevin dynamics simulations. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We examine the mechanism of formation of micelles of dihydroxy bile salts using a coarse-grained, implicit solvent model and Langevin dynamics simulations.

The Role of the Enterohepatic Circulation of Bile Salts and Nuclear Hormone Receptors in the Regulation of Cholesterol Homeostasis: Bile Salts as Ligands for Nuclear Hormone Receptors

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2003
The coordinated effect of lipid activated nuclear hormone receptors; liver X receptor (LXR), bound by oxysterol ligands and farnesoid X receptor (FXR), bound by bile acid ligands, act as genetic transcription factors to cause feed-forward cholesterol ...

Effect of bile salts on hepatic phosphatidylcholine synthesis and transport into rat bile

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1972
The effect of transport of micelle-forming and non-micelle-forming conjugated bile salts on phosphatidylcholine synthesis and transport into bile was studied in the ex vivo perfused rat liver.

Studies on Bile Pigments II. Seperation of Natural Direct Bilirubins [PDF]

open access: yes, 1956
Separation of both forms of the direct bilirubin were carried out from the dog's gallbladder bile, and further isolations of them were also done. 1. The natural salt-form bilirubin was isolated after separation on the column of aluminium oxide with a n ...

Identification of Novel Bile Salt-Tolerant Genes in Lactobacillus Using Comparative Genomics and Its Application in the Rapid Screening of Tolerant Strains

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Under bile salt treatment, strains display significant differences in their tolerance ability, suggesting the existence of diverse resistance mechanisms in Lactobacillus; however, the genes involved in this protective process are not fully understood. In
