homeostasis/metabolism
• mildly elevated plasma bile salt concentrations
|
• 39% increase in total bile salt pool relative to control
• 67% increase in cholate pool size due to approximately 2-fold increase in intestinal reabsorption relative to wild-type
• cholate synthesis rate is increased by 2-fold, however fractional turnover rate and cycling time of cholate pool are normal
• fecal loss of bile salts is increased by about 70%
|
• mildly elevated plasma bile salt concentrations
• total bile salt pool size is increased by 39%
|
liver/biliary system
• bile formation process itself does not appear to be affected, however a higher bile flow rate is caused by a 2.4-fold increase in the biliary output rate of bile salts
|
• biliary bile salt concentration in the bile is increased
