Serum bile acids as a prognostic biomarker in biliary atresia following Kasai portoenterostomy
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 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).

General amyloid inhibitors? A critical examination of the inhibition of IAPP amyloid formation by inositol stereoisomers. [PDF]
, 2014 Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP or amylin) forms amyloid deposits in the islets of Langerhans; a process that is believed to contribute to the progression of type 2 diabetes and to the failure of islet transplants.

Effect of Intraduodenal Bile and Taurodeoxycholate on Exocrine Pancreatic Secretion and on Plasma Levels of Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide and Somatostatin in Man [PDF]
, 1994 Intraduodenal (i.d.) application of bile or Na-taurodeoxycholate (TDC) dose dependently enhances basal exocrine pancreatic secretion. The hydrokinetic effect is mediated at least in part by secretin.

Radioimmunoassay for Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide
Gastroenterology, 1974 A specific radioimmunoassay for gastric inhibitory polypeptide has been developed using guinea pig antisera raised to porcine gastric inhibitory polypeptide. Highly purified 125I-porcine gastric inhibitory polypeptide, further purified on Sephadex G-15 after labeling, was employed as a tracer. The sensitivity range is 25 to 250 pg.
