Activation of protein kinase C alpha and delta by bile acids: correlation with bile acid structure and diacylglycerol formation

The feedback repression of cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase transcriptional activity and mRNA levels by taurocholate (TCA) occurs via a protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent signal. To determine whether bile acids could activate PKC indirectly via generation of diacylglycerol (DG), their effects on DG leve...
