Dietary fibers: V. Binding of bile salts, phospholipids and cholesterol from mixed micelles by bile acid sequestrants and dietary fibers.
Mixed micelles were prepared containing combinations of either taurocholate or taurochenodeoxycholate, monoolein, oleic acid, dioleylphosphatidylcholine (lecithin) and cholesterol. These were incubated with commercial bile-acid-sequestering resins, cholestyramine and DEAE-Sephadex, or various dietary fibers and fiber components including wheat bran, cellulose, alfalfa, lignin and 2 viscosity grades of guar gum. Binding was determined as the difference between the radioactivity of each micellar component added and that recovered in the centrifugal supernatant after incubation. In general, the extent of bile salt sequestration was characteristic and reproducible for each bile salt, and was largely unaffected by the presence of one or more additional components of the micellar mixture, including the other bile salt. Cholestyramine bound 81-92% of the bile salts and 86-99% of the phospholipid and cholesterol present in micelles. DEAE-Sephadex sequestered only 49% of the taurocholate and 84% of the taurochenodeoxycholate, but completely removed all of the phospholipid and cholesterol from micelles containing either bile salt. Among the dietary fibers, guar gum of either viscosity bound between 20-38% of each micellar component, whereas lignin, alfalfa, wheat bran and cellulose were progressively less effective in sequestration of individual components of mixed micelles. The extent of sequestration of micellar components by these resins and fibers is reasonably correlated with the effects of these same materials on lymphatic absorption of lipids and to their suggested hypocholesteremic properties.
