Bile acid sequesterants are drugs that act by binding with the bile produced by the liver. Bile helps the digestion and absorption of fats in the intestine. By blocking the digestion of fats, bile acid sequesterants prevent the formation of cholesterol.
What kind of nutritional substance is broken down by bile?

Is gall bladder mechanical digestion or chemical digestion?
While the gallbladder may appear to be functioning in chemical digestion because it produces a chemical, in reality this chemical functions as part of mechanical digestion. Bile produced by the gallbladder emulsifies fats. This means that it breaks the fat particles into smaller particles without changing their chemical nature.
