Bile acid

Bile acids (Bile Acid) are the final products of cholesterol metabolism and are amphipathic molecules that facilitate lipid absorption. The active ingredients of plant natural products interact with bile acids during digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract, increasing the transfer rate of bile acids from the small intestine to the colon. These interactions may regulate the size and composition of the bile acid pool, influencing metabolic processes associated with health and disease. Bile acids are also emerging as a new type of green feed additive, gradually replacing some pharmaceutical additives. The addition of bile acids can improve the utilization of fats, reduce the amount of fat in the original formula, thus lowering feed costs. It can also enhance the digestive capacity of poultry, reducing digestive diseases caused by poor fat digestion.


Bile acids (Bile Acid) are the final products of cholesterol metabolism and are amphipathic molecules that promote lipid absorption. The homeostasis of bile acids in the body is maintained through the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids between the liver and the small intestine. Approximately 95% of bile acids are efficiently reabsorbed in the enterohepatic circulation, and the remaining 5% are excreted in the feces. Bile acids not only regulate lipid metabolism but also interact with the intestinal microbiota. The measurement of bile acids is clinically significant for the diagnosis and treatment of liver and gallbladder diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and more.
