Biliary lipids in ox and sheep.

M S Khatim, K A Gumaa

    Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology. A, Comparative Physiology
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sheep gallbladder bile lipids are more concentrated than in oxen. High-fiber diets stimulate bile acid production, leading to less lithogenic bile in both species.

    Area of Science:

    • Comparative biochemistry
    • Gastroenterology
    • Animal physiology

    Background:

    • Bile acid composition varies between species.
    • Dietary factors can influence bile acid metabolism.
    • Understanding species-specific bile lipid profiles is crucial for metabolic research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the lipid and bile acid composition of gallbladder bile in sheep and cattle.
    • To investigate the relationship between diet, bile acid synthesis, and bile lithogenicity.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of gallbladder bile from sheep and cattle.
    • Quantification of total lipids and individual bile acids.
    • Determination of conjugated and free bile acid ratios.

    Main Results:

    • Sheep bile exhibited higher lipid concentration and a greater ratio of conjugated to free bile acids compared to cattle bile.
    • Taurocholate was predominant in sheep bile, while glycocholate dominated in cattle bile.
    • Cattle bile had higher concentrations of free bile acids and a greater ratio of dihydroxy to trihydroxy bile acids.

    Conclusions:

    • Dietary fiber content significantly influences bile acid synthesis in sheep and cattle.
    • The observed low lithogenicity of bile in these species is attributed to diet-induced bile acid production.
