Sex differences in gallbladder bile acid composition and hepatic steroid 12 alpha-hydroxylase activity in hamsters.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983
The gallbladder bile acid composition and the activity of the hepatic steroid 12 alpha-hydroxylase were determined in male and female hamsters. Cholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, and deoxycholic acid were the major bile acids in both sexes; in addition,

Nanocellulose Alleviates Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy via Gut Microbiota‐Mediated Bile Acid Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.

Bile acid synthesis in HepG2 cells: effect of cyclosporin

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
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 ...

Spontaneous Non‐Catalyzed Molecular Reactions and Interactions in the Human Body: Biomedical Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The human body functions as a natural reactor for a vast network of chemical and biological reactions and physical interactions among small molecules, proteins, cells, and numerous other components. These reactions/interactions are essential for maintaining normal physiological functions.

Cholic acid therapy in Zellweger spectrum disorders

, 2016
Introduction Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSDs) are characterized by a failure in peroxisome formation, caused by autosomal recessive mutations in different PEX genes.

Aqueous solubility and acidity constants of cholic, deoxycholic, chenodeoxycholic, and ursodeoxycholic acids.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1992
Cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, and ursodeoxycholic acid were purified by a foam fractionation method. Using thermogravimetric analysis, the attached water molecule was found to be completely removed from solids of the latter three ...

Early diabetes‐like phenotypes in germ‐free mice induced by gut microbiota from patients with type 2 diabetes

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Gut microbiota from patients with type 2 diabetes induced early diabetes‐like phenotypes in germ‐free mice, including progressive glucose intolerance and mild renal injury. Longitudinal profiling revealed persistent dysbiosis preceding stable metabolic dysfunction, with coordinated fecal and plasma metabolite alterations and a prominent L‐Dopa ...

Cholic Acid in Guinea Pig Bile.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1960
SummaryCholic (3α, 7α, 12α-trihydroxycholanic) acid has been isolated from the guinea pig bile obtained from gall bladders as well as by biliary fistulae. However, this bile acid was found only in the bile of adult and not of immature guinea pigs. The other 2 bile acids isolated, chenodeoxycholic (3α, 7α-dihydroxycholanic) and 7-ketolithocholic (3α ...

Deciphering the catalytic and pharmacological mechanisms of Coptis chinensis herbzymes to renovate intestinal microenvironment for colitis alleviation

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The synthesized CCzymes possess both antioxidant enzyme activity and pharmacological properties inherent to Coptis chinensis. By their antioxidant enzyme activity, CCzymes can attenuate oxidative stress within the inflammatory region of ulcerative colitis (UC), while their pharmacological activity acts on macrophage polarization and the intestinal ...

Cofactor requiremets for 7 alpha-dehydroxylation of cholic and chenodeoxycholic acid in cell extracts of the intestinal anaerobic bacterium, Eubacterium species V.P.I. 13708.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981
The characteristics of 7 alpha-dehydroxylase, a bile acid-biotransforming enzyme, were determined using dialyzed cell extracts of Eubacterium sp. V.P.I. 12708. 7 alpha-Dehydroxylase was induced by cholic acid in this organism.
