Inhibition of calcium phosphate precipitation by bile salts: a test of the Ca(2+)-buffering hypothesis.
The ability of bile salts to inhibit the precipitation of either calcium hydroxyapatite or its precursor, amorphous calcium phosphate, by reducing Ca2+ activity or poisoning nascent crystals was determined. When apatite precipitated rapidly (1-4 h), glycocholate and taurine-conjugated bile salts (up...
