...-ursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) and UDCA, resulting in a more hydrophilic bile acid profile compared with GF and humanized Cyp2c70 −/− mice. The hydrophobicity index of biliary bile acids of CD Cyp2c70 −/− mice was associated with changes in gut microbiota, liver weight, liver transaminases, and liver fibrosis...

... in the composition of bile acid pools. These were manifest as an increase in the proportion of cholic acid and a decrease in that of ursodeoxycholic acid in both bile and liver. These modifications differed from the changes seen in the nuclear bile acid pool, where a decrease in the proportion of cholic acid...

...Florence WONG; Arieh BOMZON; Johane ALLARD; Peter LIU; Laurence BLENDIS Systemic arterial vasodilatation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of sodium retention in cirrhosis. Hydrophobic bile acids, which have vasodilatory actions, may be involved. Ursodeoxycholic acid, a hydrophilic bile acid...

... for the hypercholeretic effect of ursodeoxycholic acid. The aim of the present work was to gain information on this point. 2. Anaesthetized male Wistar rats (∼ 250 g) were used. The animals underwent two-thirds hepatectomy 1, 6 or 12 h before collection of bile samples was begun. Very early after hepatectomy (1 h...

The hepatic extraction ratios of chenodeoxycholic acid and ursodeoxycholic acid have been measured in 12 patients without, and 20 patients with, liver disease. 2. Ten of the patients without liver disease were studied...

...%; lithocholic acid and ursodeoxycholic acid increased significantly. 4. Bile saturation with cholesterol decreased and correlated negatively with the proportion of chenodeoxycholic acid in biliary bile acids but positively with serum triglycerides. 5. It is concluded that chenodeoxycholic acid treatment...
