Treatment of bile acid amidation defects with glycocholic acid

Diagnostic value of serum bile acid composition patterns and serum glycocholic acid levels in cholangiocarcinoma.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a cancer of biliary epithelial cell origin, which is prevalent in northeastern Thailand. The majority of patients with CCA are diagnosed at the advanced-stage of the disease. Although the early detection and diagnosis of CCA is critical to improve the prognosis of patients, there are presently no specific tumor markers for CCA. A previous study demonstrated that the ...

Treatment of Warts with Topical Formic Acid

Differential regulation of cytosolic and peroxisomal bile acid amidation by PPAR alpha activation favors the formation of unconjugated bile acids.

In human liver, unconjugated bile acids can be formed by the action of bile acid-CoA thioesterases (BACTEs), whereas bile acid conjugation with taurine or glycine (amidation) is catalyzed by bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferases (BACATs). Both pathways exist in peroxisomes and cytosol. Bile acid amidation facilitates biliary excretion, whereas the accumulation of unconjugated bile acids m...

Subcellular organization of bile acid amidation in human liver: a key issue in regulating the biosynthesis of bile salts.

To extend our knowledge of how the synthesis of free bile acids and bile salts is regulated within the hepatocyte, bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase and bile acid-CoA thioesterase activities were measured in subcellular fractions of human liver homogenates. Some bile acids, both conjugated and unconjugated, have been reported to be natural ligands for the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), an...
