Determination of bile acids in serum of pigs exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Posted on 22 December, 2023 by fqm302

Exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been linked to dyslipidemia. Under acute exposure to PCBs, it has been observed that the secretion of bile acids (BAs) can be impacted, limiting (indirectly) lipid absorption in the gut. In this context, two … Continue reading →
