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

The e&cts of newly synthesized cholesterol availability on bile acid synthesis are largely unknown, particularly in humans. The present study was aimed to study the changes induced on bile acid synthesis by simvastatin, a competitive inhibitor of hydroxymethyl glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase, the r
We reported previously that mice overexpressing cytochrome P450 7a1 (Cyp7a1; Cyp7a1-tg mice) are protected against high fat diet-induced hypercholesterolemia, obesity, and insulin resistance. Here, we investigated the underlying mechanism of bile acid signaling in maintaining cholesterol homeostasis
2D N M R methods have been applied to the complete assignment of the proton and carbon signals of aqueous solutions of sodium cholate and deoxycholate. Comparative studies of the 13C chemical shifts, in terms of concentration in DzO and CDJOD solutions, show a dependence of the carbons bearing a hyd
