Bile acids are considered as a risk factor for colorectal carcinogenesis. They were analysed in samples of faecal water and plasma of fasting heparine blood from 23 urolithiasis patients. Linear regression showed that the highest percentage of variance (52%) was explained by the model: plasma deoxycholic acid (micromol/l) = -3.11 + 0.96(+/-0.25*) 10log deoxycholic acid in faecal water (micromol/l) + 0.35(+/-0.15*) pH of faecal water -0.41(+/-0.19#) defacation frequency (number of stools/day); *P < 0.05, #P = 0.055. In future studies, analysing blood levels of unconjugated deoxycholic acid may substitute faecal measurements.

D002756 Cholagogues and Choleretics Gastrointestinal agents that stimulate the flow of bile into the duodenum (cholagogues) or stimulate the production of bile by the liver (choleretic). Choleretics,Cholagogues,Cholagogues, Choleretics,Choleretics and Cholagogues,Hydrocholeretics
D003840 Deoxycholic Acid A bile acid formed by bacterial action from cholate. It is usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. Deoxycholic acid acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for intestinal absorption, is reabsorbed itself, and is used as a choleretic and detergent.
