from food by digestive system
bile contains cholesterol and digestive acids
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
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.
Yes, bile acids are synthesized in the liver.
In addition to water, bile contains bile salts, bile pigments (bilirubin and biliverdin), cholesterol, and electrolytes.
liver secrets bile salts from cholesterol
Bile acids are produced from cholesterol in the liver.
Cholesterol
Cholesterol is the precursor of bile acid, steroid hormones and vitamin D.
Bile salts are made in the Liver, stored and concentrated in the Gallbladder.
Statins slow bile formation by interfering with the liver's production of a major component of bile acids: cholesterol.
