The effects of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) on enzymic activity of lipase, as well as the relationship between the lipase activity and the concentration of bile acids in bile, were studied.In the presence of bile administered CDCA, the lipase activity was enhanced significantly.A correlation between the lipase activity and the common logarithm of the concentration of total bile acid and CDCA in bile was observed, correlation coefficients being 0.723 (n= 30) and 0.732 (n= 30), respectively.In addition, it was observed from the result of multiple regression that CDCA and UDCA increased the lipase activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
