Asam empedu: Perbedaan antara revisi

In humans, the most important bile acids are [[cholic acid]], [[deoxycholic acid]], and [[chenodeoxycholic acid]]. Prior to secretion by the liver, they are conjugated with either the amino acid glycine or taurine. Conjugation increases water solubility, preventing passive re-absorption once secreted into the small intestine. As a result, the concentration of bile acids in the small intestine can stay high enough to form micelles and solubilize lipids. "Critical micellar concentration" refers to both an intrinsic property of the bile acid itself and amount of bile acid necessary to function in the spontaneous and dynamic formation of micelles.
