Model-Based Prediction of Plasma Concentration and Enterohepatic Circulation of Total Bile Acids in Humans.

ABSTRACT: Bile acids released postprandially can modify the rate and extent of lipophilic compounds' absorption. This study aimed to predict the enterohepatic circulation (EHC) of total bile acids (TBAs) in response to caloric intake from their spillover in plasma. A model for TBA EHC was combined with a previously developed gastric emptying (GE) model. Longitudinal gallbladder volumes and TBA plasma concentration data from 30 subjects studied after ingestion of four different test drinks were supplemented with literature data. Postprandial gallbladder refilling periods were implemented to improve model predictions. The TBA hepatic extraction was reduced with the high-fat drink. Basal and nutrient-induced gallbladder emptying rates were altered by type 2 diabetes (T2D). The model was predictive of t
