Bile acid secretion was studied in isolated rat hepatocytes cultured in medium supplemented with cofactors and succinate. Succinate as a respiratory substrate was found to be essential for bile acid synthesis. Feedback mechanism was demonstrated with different inhibitory potency of different bile acids on bile acid synthesis in isolated hepatocytes.
