Effect of Phosphatidyl Choline on the Hemolytic Activities of Bile Salts

Abstract

Hemolytic activities of the mixed micelle of phosphatidyl choline with either sodium cholate or sodium deoxycholate were investigated.
Phosphatidyl choline showed a strong inhibitory effect on the hemolytic activity of both bile salts. It formed a mixed micelle with both bile salts, but its inhibitory activity was greater with sodium cholate than with sodium deoxycholate.
