Background and Objectives: Savigh or the edible roasted flour has both remedial and nutritional applications. Despite the introduction of Savigh in the Iranian traditional medicine resources and particularly in Hadith books, this product has not been well-known yet. This review study aimed to investigate the therapeutic applications of lentil Savigh in Hadith books and Iranian traditional medic...

Bile acid profiles in serum, urine, and bile from patients undergoing bile drainage and the changes of serum bile acids after bile drainage were studied. Bile acids were separated into non-glucuronidate-non-sulphate, glucuronidated, and sulphated fractions and were measured by mass fragmentography using conjugates of deuterium labelled bile acids as internal standards. Glucuronidated and sulpha...

this study aimed at applying both growth and survival approaches to compare three native strains of lactobacilli, belonging to lactobacillus plantarum, lactobacillus rhamnosus and lactobacillus acidophilus species, with two commercial probiotic strains in their tolerance to acid and bile. the association between the data obtained from the methods was studied.  the results of the different metho...

Poorly water-soluble drugs frequently solubilize into bile colloids and this natural mechanism is key for efficient bioavailability. We tested the impact of pharmaceutical polymers on solubilization interplay using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, by assessing flux across model membranes. Eudragit E, Soluplus, a therapeutically used polymer, Colesevelam,...

Unconjugated bile acids in the bile of healthy and diseased humans were determined qualitatively and quantitatively by means of gas-liquid chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, after their isolation by ion-exchange chromatography. In a healthy person and three patients with cholelithiasis, unconjugated bile acids comprised 0.1-0.4% of total biliary bile acids. The bile...
