The bile cholesterol saturation index is determined by
|
|
the ratios of hepatic biliary concentrations of calcium, bile salts, and lecithin
|
|
|
the amount of glycoprotein secreted by the gallbladder as a function of cholesterol
|
|
|
the relative concentrations of cholesterol, lecithin, and bile salts
|
|
|
the rate of bile salt absorption by the gallbladder
|
|
|
the relative concentrations of cholesterol, bilirubin, and bile acids

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In the small intestine, bile acids facilitate lipid digestion and absorption.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver through two pathways: the classic pathway and the alternative pathway. In human liver, bile acid synthesis mainly produces two primary bile acids, cholic acid (CA), and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA). Key regulatory enzymes in both pathways are indicated.
