Cholestasis is a clinical disorder defined as an impairment of bile flow, and that leads to toxic bile acid (BA) accumulation in hepatocytes. Here, we investigated the hepatoprotective effect of Yinchenhaotang (YCHT), a well-known formulae for the treatment of jaundice
R B Kirkpatrick et al.
Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.), 8(2), 353-357 (1988-03-01)
The effect of side chain length on bile acid conjugation by human and rat liver fractions was examined. The rate of conjugation with glucuronic acid, sulfate and coenzyme A of several natural (C24) bile acids was compared with that of
Y Hamada et al.
The Biochemical journal, 283 ( Pt 2), 575-581 (1992-04-15)
The effects were investigated of the choleretic bile salt glycoursodeoxycholate (G-UDCA) and of the cholestatic bile salt taurochenodeoxycholate (T-CDCA) on changes in perfusate Ca2+, glucose and oxygen and in bile calcium and bile flow induced by the administration of (a)

Neuronal oxidative damage and cell death by unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) showed to be mediated by overstimulation of glutamate receptors and nitric oxide (NO) production, which was abrogated by the bile acid glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDCA). Microglia, a crucial mediator of CNS

Ursodeoxycholate (UDCA) is widely used for the treatment of cholestatic liver disease. After oral administration, UDCA is absorbed, taken up efficiently by hepatocytes, and conjugated mainly with glycine to form glycoursodeoxycholate (GUDC) or partly with taurine to form tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDC)
