We examined by titration the electrochemical properties, apparent pK (pK'a), precipitation pH, and undissociated bile acid solubilities of chenodeoxycholic acid and its 7 beta epimer, ursodeoxycholic acid and their glycine conjugates as functions of a ...

Effect of phospholipids and bile acids on cholesterol nucleation time and vesicular/micellar cholesterol in gallbladder bile of patients with cholesterol stones [PDF]
Supersaturation and rapid nucleation of cholesterol in bile are of key importance in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones. While the effects of bile acids and phospholipids on cholesterol saturation of bile have been extensively studied, their ...

Taurine/chenodeoxycholic acid ratio as a potential serum biomarker for low vitamin B<sub>12</sub> levels in humans. [PDF]
Deficiency of vitamin B-12 (B-12 or cobalamin), an essential water-soluble vitamin, leads to neurological damage, which can be irreversible and anaemia, and is sometimes associated with chronic disorders such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases ...

Bile acid formation in man: metabolism of 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one in bile fistula patients
7α-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one is thought to be an intermediate in human bile acid synthesis. This conclusion is based on in vivo experiments in animals and on in vitro studies in which homogenates of animal and human livers were used. To further establish

Bile acid synthesis in HepG2 cells: effect of cyclosporin
The hypothesis that cyclosporin specifically affects the pathway of bile acid synthesis that begins with 27-hydroxylation of cholesterol was evaluated in HepG2 cells, which synthesize chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid from endogenous 7 alpha ...
