Effect of dietary cholic acid and cholesterol on liver and kidney cystathionase and cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase activities and taurine concentrations in the rat

C Loriette et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Hepatic cystathionase and cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase activities are drastically affected by cholic acid added to the diet without cholesterol. When cholic acid and cholesterol are given together, only cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase activity is changed. Neither kidney enzyme activity nor taurine concentrations in the liver and kidney are noticeably modified, whatever the diet.
