Journal Article

Chemoprevention of azoxymethane-induced colonic carcinogenesis by supplemental dietary ursodeoxycholic acid.

TL;DR: The results of these studies demonstrated that none of the control rats fed the various diets injected with AOM-vehicle developed tumors, and demonstrate for the first time that supplemental dietary ursodeoxycholic acid is a chemopreventive agent in the AOM model of experimental colonic carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Different bile acids exhibit distinct biological effects: The tumor promoter deoxycholic acid induces apoptosis and the chemopreventive agent ursodeoxycholic acid inhibits cell proliferation

TL;DR: Results indicate that different bile acids exhibit distinct biological activities and suggest that the cytotoxicity reported for DCA may be due to its capacity to induce apoptosis via a protein kinase C-dependent signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Esophageal hypersensitivity may be a major cause of heartburn

TL;DR: It is suggested that a significant subset of typical heartburn sufferers have a lower threshold for esophageal sensation and pain, which may influence options for pharmacological intervention in such subjects.
