homeostasis/metabolism
• mice fed 1% cholic acid to induce cholestasis exhibit increased alanine transaminse levels
• mice undergoing bile duct ligation to induce cholestatis exhibit higher levels of serum alanine transaminase 9 days, but not 3 days, after ligation
|
• levels of aspartate transaminase are increased in 1% cholic acid-fed mice
• mice undergoing bile duct ligation to induce cholestatis exhibit higher levels of serum aspartate transaminase 9 days, but not 3 days, after ligation
• however, serum levels of alkaline phosphatase, direct bilirubin and total bilirubin levels are not different
|
• marker analysis indicates that 1% cholic acid-fed mice show a compromised hepatic adaptive response to cholestasis
• levels of hepatic 7-alpha-C4 are reduced in 1% cholic acid-fed mice
|
• bile acid level in the livers is greater than in wild-type mice after 1% cholic acid feeding
• conjugated bile acids taurocholic acid, taurodeoxycholate acid, and tauromuricholate acid in livers of 1% cholic acid-fed mice are increased by 1.51-, 9.04-, and 1.92-fold compared with controls

mortality/aging
• 58% survival rate when mice are fed with 1% cholic acid
