title: [Action of the microbial flora of the digestive tract on the biosynthesis of cholic acid in the rat (author's transl)].
abstract: Axenic and holoxenic (conventional) rats were fed a diet containing trace amounts of [2,4-3H]cholic and [24-14C]chemodeoxycholic acids. In the feces of both groups of rats, the percentage of labelled bile acids which were 3H-labelled was slightly different. In the experimental conditions used, the intestinal microflora only slightly modified the synthesis of 12alpha-hydroxylated bile acids.
