The present study defines the origin of cholesterol subserving bile acid synthesis in male rats with an extracorporal bile duct by labeling newly formed cholesterol with tritiated water. Within 6 hr after interruption of the enterohepatic circulation, the bile acid pool was depleted. At this early t

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
Primary human hepatocytes were used to elucidate the effect of individual bile acids on bile acid formation in human liver. Hepatocytes were treated with free as well as glycine-conjugated bile acids. Bile acid formation and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of key enzymes and the nuclear receptor short h
We examined the effects of feeding deoxycholic acid (1% and 0.4% of diet), alone and in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid, on serum and biliary bile acid concentrations, hepatic morphology, and the activities and steady-state messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7a-hy
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
Alanine is a powerful stimulator of hepatic protein synthesis whose mechanism of action has not yet been ascertained. The present work aimed to elucidate whether rate changes in ion fluxes accompanying the transport of this amino acid could play a role in the stimulation of protein synthesis. In per
