Evolutionary diversity of bile salts in reptiles and mammals, including analysis of ancient human and extinct giant ground sloth coprolites.

BMC evolutionary biology - 6 May 2010

Hagey Lee R, Vidal Nicolas, Hofmann Alan F, Krasowski Matthew D

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bile salts are the major end-metabolites of cholesterol and are also important in lipid and protein digestion and in influencing the intestinal microflora. We greatly extend prior surveys of bile salt diversity in both reptiles and mammals, including analysis of 8,000 year old human c...
