The exponential expansion of knowledge in the field of
hepatobiliary diseases makes systematic revisions of current
concepts almost mandatory nowadays. This eBook summarizes the
progress in understanding the molecular mechanism of cholesterol
and bile acid metabolism and the physical-chemistry of biliary
lipids, with emphasis on biliary lipid metabolism that is regulated
by nuclear receptors in the hepatobiliary system. By guiding the
readers through the various aspects of anatomy, physiology, and
biochemistry of all "players" involved in bile formation, this
eBook is intended to be a compendium of recent progresses in
understanding the molecular mechanisms of cholesterol and bile acid
metabolism. Table of Contents: Introduction / Anatomy of the Liver,
Biliary Tract, and Gallbladder / Physical Chemistry of Bile /
Hepatic Cholesterol Metabolism / Physical Chemistry and Hepatic
Metabolism of Bile Acids / The Enterohepatic Circulation of Bile
Acids / Hepatic Secretion of Biliary Lipids and Bile Formation /
Summary / Acknowledgments / References / Author Biographies
