Cholesterol crystallization in model biles: effects of bile salt and phospholipid species composition1

Cholesterol crystallization in model biles: effects of bile salt and phospholipid species composition1

Cholesterol in human bile is solubilized in micelles by (relatively hydrophobic) bile salts and phosphatidylcholine (unsaturated acyl chains at sn-2 position). Hydrophilic tauroursodeoxycholate, dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin all decrease cholesterol crystal-containing zones in t...
