  • Title: Effects of troleandomycin administration on cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity and bile secretion in rats.
    Author: Le Dafniet M, Pessayre D, Le Quernec L, Erlinger S.
    Journal: J Pharmacol Exp Ther; 1981 Nov; 219(2):558-62. PubMed ID: 6270314.
    Abstract:
    Repeated administration of troleandomycin increased bile flow but decreased the biliary secretion of bile acids in rats. The increased bile flow was associated with a parallel increase in the biliary clearance of [14C]erythritol. Analysis of the relationship between bile flow and bile acid secretion indicated that, for any given rate of bile acid secretin, bile flow was higher in troleandomycin-treated rats than in control rats. The increased bile flow was associated with an increased activity of Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase in liver plasma membranes. The decreased bile acid secretion into bile was associated with a similar decrease in the bile acid pool size, a decreased bile acid synthesis rate and a decreased activity of microsomal cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase. The concentration of bile acids in serum, the hepatic extraction ratio of [3H]taurocholate and its biliary transport maximum were not modified. It is concluded that repeated administration of troleandomycin increases the canalicular bile acid-independent flow but decreases the activity of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, the synthesis, the pool size and the biliary secretion rate of bile acid in rats.
