Chapter 41.3, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To know: The beneficial role of bile salts structural configuration in digestion.
Introduction: Bile is defined as a fluid present in the liver which is helpful in digestion and it is mainly stored in the gallbladder. It is made up of bile acids. They help in the breakdown of fats which can be used by the body.

An emulsifying agent is a molecule that promotes the dispersion of one substance in another. Emulsifying agents areused to cause the interactions of hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances. They do so because their structures contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups. Taurocholicacid is a bile salt, an emulsifying agent produced in the liverthat promotes fat digestion in the intestine. Its structure contains the amino acid taurine. Suggest a reason why taurinemakes taurocholic acid a better emulsifying agent thanglycocholic acid, a molecule in which glycine is substitutedfor taurine.
Is the methyl group at the junction of rings A and B axial or equatorial to ring A? Is it axial or equatorial to ring B?
Cholestyramine is an anion-exchange resin used by clinicians to lower serum cholesterol in patients. This oral medication forms insoluble complexes with bile salts in theintestine, thus preventing their reabsorption. Explain themechanism by which cholestyramine lowers serum cholesterol levels.

Predisposing factors for this excruciatingly painful disorder include obesity and infection of the gallbladder (cholecystitis). Because cholesterol is virtually insoluble in water, it is solubilized in bile by its incorporation into micelles composed of bile salts and phospholipids. Gallstones tend to form when cholesterol is secreted into bile in excessive quantities. Suggest a reason why an obese person is prone to gallstone formation. [Hint: HMG-CoA reductase activity is higher in obese individuals.]arrow_forward
