Cholic acid therapy in Zellweger spectrum disorders
AbstractIntroductionZellweger spectrum disorders (ZSDs) are characterized by a failure in peroxisome formation, caused by autosomal recessive mutations in different PEX genes. At least some of the progressive and irreversible clinical abnormalities in patients with a ZSD, particularly liver dysfunction, are likely caused by the accumulation of toxic ...

Effectiveness and Safety of Personalized Cholic Acid Treatment in Patients With Bile Acid Synthesis Defects. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bile acid synthesis defects (BASDs) comprise a group of rare, often severe, metabolic disorders. Bile acid replacement therapy decreases toxic bile acid intermediates production and improves biochemical profiles, potentially delaying or stabilizing disease progression.

Structure and Dynamics of Cholic Acid and Dodecylphosphocholine−Cholic Acid Aggregates [PDF]
Bile acids are powerful detergents that emulsify and solubilize lipids, vitamins, cholesterol and other molecules in the biliary tract and intestines. It has long been known that bile acids form soluble mixed micelles with lipids. However, the detailed thermodynamic and structural properties of these micelles are not fully understood.
