	Gallbladder and Biliary Tract: Biology of the Digestive System: Merck Manual Home Edition
		Bile flows out of the liver through the right and left hepatic ducts (see Biology of the Liver and Gallbladder: Blood Supply of the Liver), which come together to form the common hepatic duct.
		Bile salts are reabsorbed by the last portion of the small intestine, extracted by the liver, and resecreted into bile.
		This recirculation of bile salts is known as the enterohepatic circulation.

	Bile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bile salts are steroid compounds (deoxycholic and cholic acid), often conjugated with glycine and taurine, and act to some extent as a detergent, helping to emulsify fats (increasing surface area to help enzyme action), and thus aid in their absorption in the small intestine.
		Since bile increases the absorption of fats, it is an important part of the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins: A, D, E, and K.
		Yellow bile and fl bile were two of the four vital fluids or humours of ancient and medieval medicine; for example, melancholia was believed to be caused by a bodily surplus of fl bile.

	Gallbladder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The gallbladder (or cholecyst) is a pear-shaped organ that stores bile (or "gall") until the body needs it for digestion.
		The gallbladder is connected to the main bile duct through the gallbladder duct (cystic duct or, in Latin, ductus cysticus).
		The gallbladder stores bile, which is released when food containing fat enters the digestive tract, stimulating the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK).

	* Bile - (Biology): Definition
		Bile emulsifies fats, facilitating their breakdown into progressively smaller fat globules until they can be acted upon by lipases.
		The bile produced in the liver is collected in bile capillaries which merge to form bile ducts.
		The disease is characterized by a buildup of bile in the liver due to a deficiency or absence of normal bile ducts inside the liver and a narrowing of bile ducts outside the liver.

	Correlation between bile duct obstruction and ductal cancer found
		When bile duct cancer cells were placed in the liver of animals with bile duct obstruction, they grew more rapidly than identical cells placed in animals without bile duct obstruction.
		Bile duct obstruction has long been known to be present in both malignant and nonmalignant liver disease (jaundice, for example), but before the study by Dr. Sirica and his colleagues the direct effect of such obstruction on bile duct cancer cell growth and aggressiveness had not been previously investigated.
		First, they establish an important correlation between bile duct obstruction and bile duct cancer, suggesting growth regulatory mechanisms that could be highly significant in the progression of the cancer and that could become good molecular targets for drug therapy.

	Liver function tests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ALP is also present in bone and placental tissue, so it is higher in growing children (as their bones are being remodelled).
		The liver is responsible for clearing this, excreting it out through bile into the instestine.
		Problems with the liver or blockage of the drainage of bile will cause increased levels of bilirubin, as will increased haemolysis of red cells.

	Bile isn't Vile: Identifying the Scent that Lures Trout Home
		Trout are so sensitive to the odor of these bile acids that they can detect them at concentrations of less than a thimble-full in a billion gallons of water.
		Bile acids might eventually be used to restore trout and salmon to areas where populations have dwindled or to increase the rates at which stocked salmonids return to selected spawning streams.
		Since a variety of stream fish species release unique sets of bile acids in feces and urine, biologists are realizing that the way some species respond to odors may lead to new management strategies.

	Bile acids, receptor key in regenerating livers
		Yellow bile and fl bile are half of the four humors that they believed made up the body, along with blood and phlegm.
		He and colleagues at BCM identified an imbalance of bile, specifically bile acids, as a major signal for this process.
		Bile acids are made in the liver and are the "detergents" of fat metabolism, said Moore.

	BIOLOGY OF THE EIMERIIDAE
		Members of this large, heterogeneous assemblage are united, not necessarily by their biology and/or life histories, but by the presence of a unique "apical complex," composed of polar rings, rhoptries, micronemes, often a conoid, and other subcellular organelles, but visualized only by use of an electron microscope.
		Both mechanical (muscular contractions) and enzymatic digestive (trypsin, bile salts) processes of the upper gastrointestinal tract of the host make the sporocyst and oocyst walls more permeable; eventually, certain parts of each may be digested, or they may collapse or are broken, releasing their sporozoites (Fig.

		Fecal bile acid excretion was measured as described under "Experimental Procedures." Fecal bile acid excretion was significantly increased in the wild type mice by cholesterol (, p = 0.0152) and cholestyramine (, p < 0.0001) feeding.
		Finally, continued efforts to elucidate both the transcriptional control and trafficking of bile acid transporters will no doubt lead to fundamental insights into important aspects of the cellular biology of the hepatocyte.
		To test whether up-regulation of CAR represents a means of protection against bile acid toxicity to compensate for the loss of FXR and PXR, animals were pretreated with CAR activators, phenobarbital or 1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichlorpyridyloxy)]benzene (TCPOBOP), followed by the CA diet.

		Bile is a greenish fluid synthesised by hepatocytes; secreted into the bile duct; stored in the gallbladder before being emptied into the duodenum.
		Bile is both excretory and secretory – in addition to bile salts, it contains cholesterol, phospholipids, and bilirubin (from the breakdown of haemoglobin).
		Bile salts act as "detergents" that aid in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats.

	Extrahepatic bile duct cancer
		Cancer arising in the extrahepatic bile duct is an uncommon disease, curable by surgery in fewer than 10% of all cases.[1] Prognosis depends in part on the tumor's anatomic location, which affects its resectability.
		They represent a very small minority of cases of bile duct cancer and usually are those with a lesion of the distal common bile duct where 5-year survival rate of 25% may be achieved.
		Cures are not often achieved in these patients, in contrast to patients with tumors arising in the distal bile duct, for whom a 5-year survival may be achieved in as many as 25% of patients.

		Steven Kliewer (right), professor of molecular biology and pharmacology, Takeshi Inagaki, postdoctoral research fellow in molecular biology, and other UT Southwestern researchers have found that the small intestine communi-cates with the liver to control bile-acid production - a dis-covery with medical impli-cations in treating people at risk for certain types of liver disease.
		The central elements in the research are the body's bile acids - powerful and essential detergents that help digest fatty foods and fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine.
		The liver makes bile acids out of cholesterol and sends them to the gallbladder, where they're stored until food is digested.

		Parasites are also one of the biggest threats to livestock in the UK and the rest of the world with drug resistance becoming a key problem, and unfortunately, only one vaccine is commercially available.
		This is an area of biology known as proteomics, and Dr Jo Hamilton of the Parasitology group is currently developing this technology at Aberystwyth.
		At Aberystwyth research interests in ecological parasitology focus on the ecological consequences of host behaviour change, the parasite fauna of introduced species, modelling transmission in natural populations and identifying the molecular mechanisms of behaviour change via proteomic approaches.
