Effects of monosulfate esters of taurochenodeoxycholate on bile flow and biliary lipids in hamsters.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
The effect of the 3 alpha- and 7 alpha-monosulfate esters of taurochenodeoxycholate on bile flow and biliary lipids was compared to the effect of unsulfated taurochenodeoxycholate. Test bile salts were infused directly into the portal circulation through

Imaging biliary lipid secretion in the rat: ultrastructural evidence for vesiculation of the hepatocyte canalicular membrane.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
Physical-chemical and biological studies of hepatic bile suggest that biliary phospholipid molecules are secreted as unilamellar vesicles. Systematic ultrastructural studies of bile canaliculi were undertaken to visualize this event.

Quantitative estimation of the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of mixed bile salt solutions.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
This paper describes the derivation of a bile salt monomeric hydrophobicity index that quantitatively defines the composite hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of a mixture of bile salts.

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

Journal 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.

Structural basis for the bile salt-mediated activation and translocation of the type III secretion system 2 in Vibrio Parahaemolyticus

CyTA - Journal of Food
Type III secretion system 2 (T3SS2) is a major virulence determinant of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and can be induced by intestinal bile salts. However, the potential structural interactions between bile salts and T3SS2 proteins remain unclear.

Bacterial degradation of bile salts [PDF]

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2010
Bile salts are surface-active steroid compounds. Their main physiological function is aiding the digestion of lipophilic nutrients in intestinal tracts of vertebrates. Many bacteria are capable of transforming and degrading bile salts in the digestive tract and in the environment. Bacterial bile salt transformation and degradation is of high ecological

Submicellar bile salts stimulate phosphatidylcholine transfer activity of sterol carrier protein 2

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
To explore a potential role for sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP2, also known as non-specific lipid transfer protein) in hepatocellular phospholipid trafficking, we examined the influence of submicellar bile salt concentrations on phosphatidylcholine (PC ...

Alteration of Bile Salts by Bacteria.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1962
SummaryThe ability of a variety of common intestinal microrganisms to grow in bile salt-containing media and to alter the structure of those bile salts was studied. Strains of Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, and Streptococcus faecalis were adapted by serial transfer in cholate-containing media to grow more rapidly in high concentrations of cholate ...

Isolation and Determination of Bile Salt Hydrolase-Producing Lactic Acid Bacteria from Fermented Spider Plant

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2018
Bile salt hydrolase is an enzyme from bacteria that can hydrolyze bile acid to be insoluble form and this event lead to reducing of cholesterol level in serum.

Studies of feedback suppression of bile salt synthesis in the bile-fistula rat.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988
We have previously reported that intravenous infusion of taurocholate at 10 mumol (100 g.hr) into bile-fistula rats suppressed bile salt synthesis by 85% (Pries et al. 1983. J. Lipid Res. 24: 141-146).
