The 23 pages that link to Bile acid, each with the reason it gives.

• Fatty acidRelated: Fatty acids and bile acids meet in the digestion and transport of dietary lipids.

• CholesterolBroader topic: The liver converts cholesterol into bile acids for secretion into the intestine.

• BileBroader topic: They are the precursors of the bile salts that perform bile’s emulsifying work.

• Drug-induced liver injuryRelated: Impaired bile-acid transport can cause cholestatic injury and expose liver cells to toxic bile acids.

• SteroidBroader topic: Bile acids are steroid derivatives with a key digestive function.

• HepatocyteRelated: Hepatocytes synthesize bile acids and secrete them into bile.

• LipidRelated: Its detergent-like behavior helps make ingested lipids accessible to digestion.

• CholestasisRelated: Bile acid retention is a defining feature of many forms of cholestasis.

• Fat-soluble vitaminRelated: Bile acids help make dietary fats available for vitamin absorption.

• HepatotoxicityRelated: Some toxicants impair bile-acid transport, causing cholestatic liver injury.

• MalabsorptionRelated: Insufficient bile acids impair fat absorption and can cause steatorrhea.

• PeroxisomeRelated: Peroxisomes perform steps in the synthesis of several bile acids.

• Lipid metabolismRelated: The liver converts cholesterol into bile acids, linking lipid processing to digestion.

• SqualeneRelated: Bile acids are downstream products of the sterol pathway that squalene feeds.

• Colonic fermentationRelated: Microbial metabolism in the colon transforms bile acids alongside carbohydrate fermentation.

• SterolRelated: The liver converts cholesterol into bile acids for fat digestion.

• Beta-glucanRelated: Viscous beta-glucan can increase bile acid loss, prompting the liver to use cholesterol to replace it.

• IleumRelated: The ileum actively reabsorbs most bile acids, returning them to the liver.

• Medium-chain triglycerideRelated: Medium-chain fats depend less on bile-assisted emulsification than long-chain fats.

• Primary biliary cholangitisRelated: Their impaired movement and retention contribute to cholestatic injury and symptoms.

• Ursodeoxycholic acidRelated: Its discovery placed it among naturally occurring bile acids later investigated as medicines.

• Bile (physiology)Broader topic: Bile acids are the active components that disperse fats and aid their absorption.

• Heinrich Otto WielandNarrower topic: Bile acids were the compounds at the center of Wieland’s Nobel-recognized investigations.
