“…Together with the observation that patients without a colon have little or no secondary bile acids in their bile or ileostomy effluent (Percy-Robb, Brunton, Jalan, McManus, Gould, and Sircus, 1969; unpublished personal obervations), our data suggest that in man the large intestine is a major site of dehydroxylation of bile acids. They also confirm the ability of the colon to absorb bile acids.…”

“…The daily fecal mass was increased in all patients (Table I (18) and the colon (19), the enterohepatic circulation of bile salts is primarily dependent upon active absorption from the ileum (20)(21)(22). Abnormally rapid fecal elimination of intravenously or orally administered isotopic cholic acid has been demonstrated in laboratory animals after ileal resection or bypass (23) and in man with ileal resection, bypass, or disease (3-5).…”

“…1 and 7). Several lines of evidence suggest a possible role for the colon in the absorption of bile acids in addition to the predominant role of the ileum (25,27,33). In perfused human colon, Mekhjian et al (25) found that several kinds of bile acids such as chenodeoxycholate, deoxycholate, and cholate are also significantly absorbed.…”
