Bacterial 7-dehydroxylation of cholic acid and allocholic acid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An obligate anaerobic organism capable of dehydroxylating cholic acid to deoxycholic acid and allocholic acid to allodeoxycholic acid was isolated from feces of the rabbit. It was a member of the bacteroides group (Gram-variable, nonsporulating anaerobes). The growth of the organism was inhibited by neomycin, 10-20 micro g/ml. The existence of this organism affords a satisfactory explanation for the development of gallstones in the cholestanol-fed rabbit and for their absence in rabbits simultaneously treated with neomycin.

متن کاملIncreased formation of ursodeoxycholic acid in patients treated with chenodeoxycholic acid.
The formation of ursodeoxycholic acid, the 7 beta-hydroxy epimer of chenodeoxycholic acid, was investigated in three subjects with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and in four subjects with gallstones. Total biliary bile acid composition was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography before and after 4 months of treatment with 0.75 g/day of chenodeoxycholic acid. Individual bile acids were identified ...
متن کامل7~Dehydroxylat ion of cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid by Clostridium leptum
The rate of 7a-dehydroxylation of primary bile acids was quantitatively measured radiochromatographically in anaerobically washed whole cell suspensions of Clostridium leptum. The pH optimum for the 7a-dehydroxylation of both cholic and chenodeoxycholic acid was 6.5-7.0. Substrate saturation curves were observed for the 7a-dehydroxylation of cholic and chenodeoxycholic acid. However, cholic aci...

Urine from patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) was found to contain a number of minor bile acids along with three major bile acids, 7-epicholic acid, norcholic acid, and cholic acid. The following minor bile acids were identified by combined gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry: 7-ketobisnordeoxycholic acid; 12-ketobisnorchenodeoxycholic acid; 7-ketonordeoxycholic acid; 12...
