説明

A study of the biliary bile acid composition in porcine fetus compared with that of the adult pig is described.Biles, collected during gestation (weeks 4, 15 to 17 and at birth), aged six months and two years old, were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography and capillary GC-MS. Bile acids were separated into different conjugate groups by chromatography on the lipophilic anion exchange gel, piperidinohydroxypropyl Sephadex LH-20. All and one fourth of the total bile acids in the bile of weeks 4 and 15 of gestation, respectively, were present as unconjugated form, however, only a trace of unconjugated bile acids was present in bile of late gestation, the young and the adult pigs. The ratio of glycine/taurine (G/T) conjugates in the conjugated fraction of the fetal bile at 15 weeks gestation was less than 1, which markedly contrasted with the conjugation pattern for adult bile where the ratio of G/T conjugates was approximately more than 9.The predominant acids identified in porcine fetal bile of the 4 weeks gestation were cholic acid (3α, 7α, 12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid) and chenodeoxycholic acid (3α, 7α-dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid). However, cholic acid in late gestation, young, and adult bile was the smallest component, whereas chenodeoxycholic acid was still the major constituent of these biles. The presence of small but valuable amounts of allocholic acid (3α, 7α, 12α-trihydroxy-5α-cholan-24-oic acid) and cholic acid in early gestation suggested the presence of 12α-hydroxylase activity of steroid nucleus in fetal liver. Considerable amounts of glycine-conjugated hyodeoxycholic acid were found in the bile of the gestation periods, suggesting the placental transfer of this bile acid from maternal circulation.
