Cholesterol Solubilization by Solutions of Bile Salts and Bile Salts Plus Lecithin
SummaryModel synthetic solutions were used to study cholesterol solubilization by the 6 conjugated bile salts found in human bile individually and as a mixture, and by lecithin in combination with bile salts. In the range of concentrations found in bile, bile salts alone solubilized only about one third as much cholesterol as might be found in ...

Background & Aims: Intestine-restricted inhibitors of the apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT, or ileal bile acid transporter) are approved as treatment for several inheritable forms of cholestasis but are also associated with ...

Some commercial preparations of common natural conjugated bile salts contain impurities (e.g., amines, lipids, and calcium) that are likely to affect their physicochemical properties. A method was developed for purifying commercial preparations of sodium

To predict bile salt-membrane interactions physiologically, we used an immobilized artificial membrane HPLC column that contains dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine molecules covalently linked to silica microspheres.

Mechanistic insights into the inhibition of NTCP by myrcludex B
Background & aims: The sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) is the entry receptor for the hepatitis B and delta virus (HBV/HDV) and the main hepatic uptake transporter of conjugated bile acids. Myrcludex B, a synthetic peptide mimicking

To examine quantitatively the hydrophobic-hydrophilic properties of bile salts, we determined the reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) mobilities of monomeric bile salt solutions and the equilibrium cholesterol-solubilizing ...

We propose a simple mathematical model to account for the coupling of secretion rates of bile salts, lecithin, and cholesterol into bile. The model assumes that: 1) molecules of ''biliary'' lecithin and cholesterol enter a functional compartment located ...

The role of the hepatocyte microtubular system in the transport and excretion of bile salts and biliary lipid has not been defined. In this study the effects of microtubule inhibition on biliary excretion of micelle- and non-micelle-forming bile salts ...

The phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) pathway of phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis is not essential for the highly specific acyl chain composition of biliary PC.

Hepatic Transport of Bile Salts
The vectorial secretion of bile salts from blood into bile is a major driving force for bile formation. The basolateral hepatocyte membrane extracts bile salts from sinusoidal blood via Na(+)-dependent and Na(+)-independent membrane transporters. Na(+)-dependent uptake of bile salts is mediated by the Na(+)-taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide, a ...
