We have shown that serum bile acid concentrations are elevated in human infants reflecting physiologic immaturity of the enterohepatic circulation. To define further the ontogeny of bile acid metabolism in mammals, we examined maturational changes in the serum concentration of total cholate conjugat

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
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
