New insights into the mechanism of bile acid?induced biliary lipid secretion*1 (original) (raw)

This research explores the role of bile acids in biliary lipid secretion, emphasizing the relationship between bile acid hydrophobicity and lipid secretion rates. It highlights various mechanisms influencing biliary lipid secretion, including dietary and hormonal effects, and the essential role of specific proteins in this process. The study examines species-specific differences in biliary phospholipid-to-bile acid ratios and bile acid-independent bile flow, providing insight into the complex regulation of biliary lipid secretion.
