Abstract
1. Normally fed and cholestyramine-treated rats were injected through the superior mesenteric vein with different amounts of radiolabelled glycoholic acid and the appearance of radioactivity in bile was measured. 2. In normally fed rats radioactivity appeared in bile within 30 s of injection and reached a maximum after 2 1/2 min; in the cholestyramine-treated animals the appearance of radioactivity was slower and less of the injected material was excreted into bile. 3. At 10 min after injection, livers were removed and the amounts of radioactive glycoholic acid and endogenous cholic acid conjugates in nuclei and cytosol were determined; most of the bile acid was found in the cytosol, only small amounts being found in nuclei. 4. Nuclear preparations from both normally fed and cholestyramine-fed rats were extracted with KCl (0.4 M) in an attempt to identify a putative bile acid receptor, but no such receptor was found. 5. Regulation of bile acid synthesis does not involve nuclear binding of bile acids.This publication has 35 references indexed in Scilit:
