Hello,

Bile is a thick digestive fluid secreted by the liver and stored in the

gallbladder. It facilitates digestion by breaking down fats into fatty
acids, which can be absorbed by the digestive tract.Bile contains
mostly cholesterol, bile acids (also called bile salts), and bilirubin
(a breakdown product of hemoglobin). Bile also contains very small
amounts of excreted copper and other metals.Most of the bile is
reabsorbed.


The following links indicate that high cholesterol diet may increase
bile flow:-


Secretion into bile is a major route for eliminating cholesterol. Free
cholesterol is virtually insoluble in aqueous solutions, but in bile,
it is made soluble by bile acids and lipids like lethicin. Gallstones,
most of which are composed predominantly of cholesterol, result from
processes that allow cholesterol to precipitate from solution in bile.

"The high cholesterol, egg yolk diet caused the secretion of an
"abnormal bile" which led to precipitation of cholesterol from
micellar solution. The increased bile cholesterol relative to bile acid

and phospholipid favored stone formation. This dietary induction of
cholesterol gallstones provided a unique animal model, in part but not
completely analogous to human
cholelithiasis.http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=292287&tool...



A number of metabolic studies indicated that the patient had several
compensatory mechanisms in place which enabled him to maintain normal
blood cholesterol concentrations in the face of longstanding and
massive cholesterol intake:

"


As such, can we relate comparatively more quantity of bile flow, its
reabsorption and more excretion in intestines with fats having high
cholesterols than with fats low or nil in cholesterols?


Can low cholesterol diet impact normal bile flow, its reabsorption and

excretion--resulting into some health problem?


Can cholesterol's absorption, synthesis and excretion be effected by
cholesterol's levels in body?


Best wishes.
