Cholanoic (bile) acids in hepatic and nonhepatic tissues of miniature swine

Abstract

Abstract Preliminary information is given indicating that all tissues of the miniature swine examined thus far contain cholanoic (bile) acids. Thin layer and gas chromatographic analyses suggest that the cholanoic acids are conjugated with glycine and taurine. The amounts appear to be substantial and should be assessed in regard to studies of cholesterol turnover.
