Bile acid synthesis in man: assay of hepatic microsomal cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity by isotope dilution-mass spectrometry.
The present work describes an accurate assay of the rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid synthesis, the cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, in human liver. The assay is based on isotope dilution-mass spectrometry, and endogenous microsomal cholesterol is used as the only substrate for the enzyme. Operativ...
