摘要:Inclusion of phosphatidylcholine within bile salt micelles protects against bile salt-induced cytotoxicity. In addition to phosphatidylcholine, bile may contain significant amounts of sphingomyelin, particularly under cholestatic conditions. We compared protective effects of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (similar to phosphatidylcholine in bile), egg yolk sphingomyelin (mainly 16:0 acyl chains) and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine against taurocholate in complementary in vitro studies. Upon addition of taurocholate-containing micelles to sonicated egg yolk phosphatidylcholine vesicles, subsequent micellization of the vesicular bilayer proved to be retarded when phospholipids had also been included in these micelles in the rank order: egg yolk phosphatidylcholine —Moschetta, A., G.

Sphingomyelin exhibits greatly enhanced protection compared with egg yolk phosphatidylcholine against detergent bile salts. J. Lipid Res. 2000. 41: 916–924.
