The regulated release of bile acid, composed of any of a group of steroid carboxylic acids occurring in bile, by a cell or a tissue. [GOC:ecd]
Bile acid secretion is a complex physiological process that involves the synthesis, transport, and excretion of bile acids, which are steroid acids that play a crucial role in lipid digestion and absorption. The process begins in the liver, where cholesterol is converted into primary bile acids, primarily cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid. These primary bile acids are conjugated with either glycine or taurine, making them more soluble in water. The conjugated bile acids are then secreted into the bile canaliculi, small channels between liver cells, and flow into the bile ducts. From the bile ducts, bile flows into the gallbladder, where it is concentrated and stored until needed. When food enters the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, the gallbladder contracts and releases bile into the duodenum via the common bile duct. In the duodenum, bile acids emulsify fats, breaking them down into smaller droplets that can be more easily digested by pancreatic enzymes. After the digestion of fats, bile acids are reabsorbed in the terminal ileum, the last part of the small intestine, and returned to the liver via the portal vein. This process, known as enterohepatic circulation, ensures that bile acids are efficiently reused. Some bile acids escape reabsorption and are excreted in the feces. In the colon, bacteria convert primary bile acids into secondary bile acids, such as deoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid. These secondary bile acids are also excreted in the feces. The secretion of bile acids is tightly regulated by a variety of factors, including the presence of food in the gut, the concentration of bile acids in the blood, and the activity of various hormones. Disruptions in bile acid secretion can lead to various diseases, including gallstones, cholestasis, and liver disease.'
