title: Effect of tauro-alpha-muricholate and tauro-beta-muricholate on oestradiol-17 beta-glucuronide-induced cholestasis in rats.
abstract: The effect of tauro-beta-muricholate (beta MC-tau) and tauro-alpha-muricholate (alpha MC-tau) on oestradiol-17 beta-glucuronide (E217G)-induced cholestasis was compared with that of tauroursodeoxycholate (UDC-tau) in rats. Like UDC-tau, alpha MC-tau and beta MC-tau infused at the rate of 0.2 mumol/min per 100 g bodyweight (BW) completely inhibited the cholestasis induced by E217G infused at the rate of 0.06 mumol/min per 100 g BW for 20 min. These findings indicate that beta MC-tau and alpha MC-tau are useful in protecting against various types of experimental cholestasis, as well as against bile acid-induced cholestasis.
