Bile salts are made in the Liver, stored and concentrated in the Gallbladder.
Of course no !
Colestipol is not absorbed into body because this drug prevents the absorption of bile acids which are produced by the cholesterol. The major impact that they are used for is being used in adjunction to help reduce the Low-Density Lipoprotiens, the "bad cholesterol." Because bile acids are formed in the liver from the cholesterol, it is then secreted back into the bile as the bile enters the intestines to be recycled through the same process. This promoting of elimination of bile acids, colesyipol pushes the liver converting more cholesterol into more bile acids to replace the ones lost. Blocks the absorption of cholesterol from the bowel. Bile salts change to cholesterol . The drug prevents the binding of bile salts to the cholesterol, so that the cholesterol can be excreted in the bowel.
Cholesterol
bile contains cholesterol and digestive acids
Cholesterol gives these benefits in your body:Membrane fluidity in cell membranesDigestion (Cholesterol is used to make bile salts to help emulsify fats in the diet)Hormones (Cholesterol can be made into body hormones)Vitamin D (Cholesterol can be made into vitamin D in skin)
Cholesterol, IgA, bile acids
Bile is the major vehicle for cholesterol excretion from the body, and bile salt keeps the cholesterol dissolved within bile. to much cholesterol or to little bile salt is what causes gallstones to happen. they are made up of cholesterol. see page 885 anatomy and physiology 8th
Bile is a compound used to digest fat that are manufactured by the liver from cholesterol. Most bile is produced in the liver from cholesterol and concentrated in the gall bladder.
Yes, bile acids are synthesized in the liver.
It is used in cell membranes and is the substrate for making sterol hormones and vitamin D. Cholesterol is made in then liver and humans have no dietary requiment for cholesterol. Cholesterol is converted into bile acids. Bile acids act as a solute to cholesterol in the gallbaldder, preventing gallstone formation, help the absorption of fat soluble vitamins and emulsify fats so they are avalible to pancreatic lipase. Bile acid production is the only method for excreating excess cholesterol.
The gallbladder sometimes make stones because of a build up of bile pigments and cholesterol.
In addition to water, bile contains bile salts, bile pigments (bilirubin and biliverdin), cholesterol, and electrolytes.
Bile acids are produced from cholesterol in the liver.
