Bile acid synthesis from cholesterol can occur via two pathways, one initiated by sterol 27-hydroxylase activity or one initiated by that of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase. In contrast to cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, which is found in the liver, sterol 27-hydroxylase is a widely distributed ...
Common bile acids of the body include cholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, deoxycholic acid, and litho-cholic acid. The general pathway for bile acid synthesis, which occurs in the liver, is shown in Figure 2.2. The conversion of cholesterol to 7α-hydroxycholesterol is catalyzed by cholesterol 7...

Bile acids are derived from cholesterol. Bile acid synthesis is the predominant metabolic pathway for catabolism of cholesterol in humans. Hydroxylation and modification of cholesterol to bile acids converts a hydrophobic membrane constituent to amphipathic molecules that can serve as powerful physiological...
Bile Acid Regulation of Hepatic Physiology III. Regulation of bile acid synthesis: past progress and future challenges. Bile acids, amphipathic detergent-like molecules synthesized from cholesterol, are highly conserved by means of enterohepatic circulation. They participate... Fuchs,Michael - 《American...
Measurements of cholesterol and bile acid synthesis and of cholesterol precursors were performed in two hypercholesterolemic families with two homozygous girls under basal conditions and during treatment with cholestyramine. The concentrations of serum methyl sterols, squalene, cholesterol, and triglycerides,...
for elimination of cholesterol from the body ( 14, 15 ). Evolution of an ileal active transport system and gall- bladder improved the effi ciency of intestinal lipid absorp- tion by dissociating hepatic bile acid secretion from bile acid synthesis. This ensures a continuous supply of bile ...
The rate limiting enzyme in the classical pathway of bile acid synthesis from cholesterol in the liver is 7α-hydroxylase (cytochrome P450 7A1, CYP7A1). The primary bile acids produced in the liver are cholic acid (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), which are conjugated with taurine and ...
Fig. 1.The pathways of bile acids in terms of synthesis, storage, metabolism and excretion. The primary bile acids cholic acid (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver by the enzyme cholesterol 7 α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). CA and DCA are eventually...
OBJECTIVETo determine the best possible treatment for two brothers who had IDDM and bile acid malabsorption-associated disabling diarrhea that was resistant to cholestyramine, antibiotics, clonidine, loperamide, or anticholinergic drugs.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSOur study paired these two brothers with cont...
