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.

Serum bile acids as a prognostic biomarker in biliary atresia following Kasai portoenterostomy
Serum bile acid levels predict outcomes in patients with biliary atresia who achieve normalized bilirubin levels after Kasai portoenterostomy. Abstract Background and Aims In biliary atresia, serum bilirubin is commonly used to predict outcomes after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP).

Mutations in SRD5B1 (AKR1D1), the gene encoding Delta(4)-3-oxosteroid 5 beta-reductase, in hepatitis and liver failure in infancy [PDF]
Background: A substantial group of patients with cholestatic liver disease in infancy excrete, as the major urinary bile acids, the glycine and taurine conjugates of 7alpha-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholenoic acid and 7alpha, 12alpha-dihydroxy-3- oxo-4-cholenoic ...

The effect of dietary 7 beta-methyl-cholic acid [0.075% in rodent chow (6.4 mg/animal per day)] on cholesterol and bile acid metabolism was studied and compared with that of cholic acid in the hamster.

Colon tumor promotion, is it a selection process? Effects of cholate, phytate, and food restriction in rats on proliferation and apoptosis in normal and aberrant crypts [PDF]
Promotion would suppose the selection of initiated cells. We tested the selection of aberrant crypt cells by cholic acid, a colon cancer promoter, and the effect of protectors, phytate and food restriction.

Bile acids labeled with 3H on the sterol nucleus lose a substantial fraction of label during enterohepatic cycling and conversion to secondary bile acids. We tested the isotopic stability of a side-chain 3H label, [22,23-3H]cholic acid in humans.

Bile acids in the rat: studies in experimental occlusion of the bile duct
Bile acids in the plasma, urine, and small intestine of adult male rats with occluded bile ducts have been studied using a method of high specificity for their determination. After bile duct ligation cholic acid rapidly accumulates in the plasma for 8 hr,

The present study was designed to obtain more definitive information in man on the metabolic pathways to chenodeoxycholic acid and to cholic acid via a pathway not involving an initial 7 alpha-hydroxylation of cholesterol. Four bile fistula patients were

7alpha-Dehydroxylation of cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid by Clostridium leptum.
The rate of 7alpha-dehydroxylation of primary bile acids was quantitatively measured radiochromatographically in anaerobically washed whole cell suspensions of Clostridium leptum.

Dietary N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decrease biliary cholesterol saturation in gallstone disease [PDF]
Because fatty acid composition of biliary phospholipids influences cholesterol secretion into bile, we investigated whether replacement of n-1 monounsaturated or n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in biliary ...
