The fasting levels of chenodeoxycholic and cholic acid conjugates in various groups of patients [25 healthy subjects, 20 patients with chronic active liver disease (CALD), 21 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and 5 patients with cholesterol gallstones before and after chenodeoxycholic acid therapy] were determined by using a sensitive, accurate and precise radioimmunoassay. The results obtained with this method were compared with those of a gas-chromatographic method with methylation and acetylation of the bile acids using a 2 m x 0.4 cm glass column packed with 3% of AN 600 on Anakrom Q 110-120 mesh. The results obtained with both methods are in agreement; therefore the method used can be applied for quantitative analysis. In diagnosis, the measurement of serum bile acid levels, fasting or after meals, proved to be a very sensitive method, although further correlations are necessary with standard liver function tests.

D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D008105 Liver Cirrhosis, Biliary FIBROSIS of the hepatic parenchyma due to obstruction of BILE flow (CHOLESTASIS) in the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts (BILE DUCTS, INTRAHEPATIC; BILE DUCTS, EXTRAHEPATIC). Primary biliary cholangitis involves the destruction of small intra-hepatic bile ducts and decreased bile secretion. Secondary biliary cholangitis is produced by prolonged obstruction of large intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts from a variety of causes.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D002635 Chenodeoxycholic Acid A bile acid, usually conjugated with either glycine or taurine. It acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for intestinal absorption and is reabsorbed by the small intestine. It is used as cholagogue, a choleretic laxative, and to prevent or dissolve gallstones.

D002793 Cholic Acids The 3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholanic acid family of bile acids in man, usually conjugated with glycine or taurine.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
