The effect of complete sulfation of conjugated cholic, chenodeoxycholic and deoxycholic acids on bile formation was investigated in rats. The sulfated bile acids were infused intravenously in stepwise increasing doses (1, 2, 3 and 4 mumol/min/100 gm body wt) in rats after 90 min of bile acid pool de

were prepared by using a sulfur trioxide complex (Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.) as described previously (Donovon, J. M. et al., Gastroenterology 1984; 84:1046, Abstract). When sulfation was complete (all the hydroxyl groups were sulfated), the purity of sulfated bile acids was better than 96% as checked by thinlayer chromatography and potentiometric titration (15a).
Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200 to 250 gm (Charles River, Saint-Constant, Quehec, Canada) were maintained in an environment of constant temperature (22°C) and lighting ( 7135

Bile acid synthesis is thought to be regulated by a negative feedback mechanism which is presumably dependent upon the flux of bile acids in the enterohepatic circulation. To characterize further the role of bile acids in regulation of bile acid synthesis, we have administered pure taurine or glycin
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 role of bile acids in the biliary secretion of alkaline phosphatase was studied. Rats with external bile fistulae were drained for 4 hr. After 2 hr, bile acid secretion fell progressively. Alkaline phosphatase secretion also decreased progressively during the period of drainage, suggesting that
