Popis: SummaryRats were fed diets containing medium-chain triglycerides or corn oil and graded levels of cholestyramine to determine if fatty acid competition influences resin bile salt binding ability. When low levels of the resin were fed, MCT promoted a higher rate of bile salt excretion than did corn oil. With higher levels of resin, bile salt excretion apparently was limited by hepatic capacity for bile salt synthesis; animals fed corn oil had higher rates of bile salt excretion than those fed MCT. Rats fed dietary MCT had relatively greater amounts of taurine-conjugated bile salts in the duodenal bile than did rats fed dietary corn oil. Cholestyramine affected the bile salt composition of bile by increasing the relative amounts of glycine-trihydroxy bile salt, and decreasing the relative amounts of taurine-dihydroxy bile salt in the bile.The authors thank Messrs.
