Our findings led us to propose that as bile acids activate endocytosis, they create a stage that norovirus takes advantage of by riding along with it to enter the cells and subsequently replicate, ...

Bile acid malabsorption was identified in about a third of patients with celiac disease and was linked to faster colonic transit, as well as prior cholecystectomy, according to research presented at ...

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda) may be superior to colesevelam (Welchol) for reducing stool frequency in patients with moderate-to-severe bile acid ...
