Bile acid solubility and precipitation in vitro and in vivo: the role of conjugation, pH, and Ca2+ ions.

The principles governing the in vitro solubility of the common natural conjugated and unconjugated bile acids and salts in relation to pH, micelle formation, and Ca2+ concentration are considered from a theoretical standpoint and then correlated first with experimental observations on model systems...
