A new study reveals how a critical imbalance in bile acids—the substances made by the liver that help digest fats—can trigger ...

The authors of a 2022 review article suggest that liver disease can increase bile salts, which then gather under the skin, resulting in pruritus. The body makes bile salts from bile acids.

Bile could collect disease biomarkers released from the biliary ... the presence of high concentrations of compounds (e.g., bile salts, bilirubin and lipids) that strongly interfere with classical ...

These bile-acid-controlled signalling pathways have become the source of promising novel drug targets to treat common metabolic and hepatic diseases. In this article we describe how targeting bile ...

Conversely, taurine bolsters the production of bile salts necessary for fat digestion and toxin elimination. Animal proteins ...

NorUDCA (24-nor-ursodeoxycholic acid) is a chemically modified bile acid that has already shown promising results in the treatment of liver diseases such as primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC ...
