What it does, reaction by reaction
1 reactions
Bile Acid Synthesis Lipid Metabolism · ER + mitochondrion + peroxisome
step 4
Irreversible/directional
Primary bile salts -> deoxycholate and lithocholate (gut bacteria) -> enterohepatic recycling
into Deoxycholate
› Notes
About 95% of bile salts are reabsorbed in the terminal ileum by ASBT and returned to liver; loss of ileum or resin binding forces cholesterol into new bile acid synthesis.
