Hepatic microsomal bile acid biotransformation : identification of metabolites and cytochrome p450 enzymes involved

Bile acids are end-products of cholesterol metabolism and essential for absorption of dietary lipids in the body. Impaired bile flow leads to hepatic bile acid accumulation and liver damage. Hepatic microsomal oxidation offers a potential mechanism for efficient elimination of bile acids. The prese...
