6. Based on what you know about bile salts, which meal would
most likely stimulate their release and why? Meal 1: steamed
vegetables. Meal 2 Fried chicken and French fries.
Bile salts are Na+ and K+ salts of bile acids are
conjugated with taurine or glycine to form taurocholic acid or
glycocholic acid.These acids then combine with sodium and potassium
salts to form Na+ -taurocholate,Na+ - glycocholate,K+ -
taurocholate,K+ - glycocholate respectively.
Bile salts are primarily responsible for absorption of
fat and fat soluble nutrients.Therefore,bile deficiency causes
steatorrhea.
Steamed vegetables can stimulate bile
production,Because these supports(stimulate) liver to produce bile
salts.
