Bile acid synthesis is believed to be regulated by bile salts returning to the liver via the portal vein and suppressing cholesterol 7a-hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the bile acid biosynthesis pathway. In order to characterize the relative effectiveness of bile salts in regulating bile ac
We have compared the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid with placebo on the clinical state, blood liver chemistries and serum and urinary bile acids in four patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. All parameters were evaluated monthly, and bile acid composition was measured by capillary gas-liquid chro
Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitors are currently in clinical development as potential lipid-lowering and antiatherosclerotic agents. We investigated the effect of avasimibe (Cl-1011), a novel ACAT inhibitor, on bile acid synthesis and cholesterol 7β£hydroxylase in cultured
## Background: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (psc) is an inflammatory disease of the bile ducts with an unknown etiology. a number of autoantigens have been proposed, but an early diagnostic marker is still lacking. our aim was to identify such an autoantigen. ## Methods: Immunostaining was perf
Bile acid synthesis (BAS) occurs mainly via two pathways: the "neutral" pathway, which is initiated by highly regulated microsomal CYP7A1, and an "acidic" pathway, which is initiated by mitochondrial CYP27A1. Previously, we have shown that overexpression of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein
