| 21. | This conversion of cholesterol into bile acids lowers plasma cholesterol levels.
|

|
| 23. | This enzyme is involved in a metabolic pathway that degrades bile acids into cholesterol.
|
| 24. | Also 27 studies reported that bile acids cause programmed cell death ( apoptosis ).
|
| 25. | Chenodeoxycholic acid is made by many species, and is the prototypic functional bile acid.
|
| 26. | It acts as a hydrocholeretic, increasing bile output to clear increased bile acid load.
|
| 27. | Bile acid sequestrants may also be used to treat hyperthyroidism as an adjunct therapy.
|
| 28. | EPHX1 mediates the sodium-dependent transport of bile acids into hepatocytes.
|
| 29. | These same bile acids are substrates for the UGT2B4 enzyme.
|
| 30. | There are additional secondary bile acids, such as ursodeoxycholic acid.
