Selected bile acids such as: cholic (C), glycocholic (GC), glycodeoxycholic (GDC), chenodeoxycholic (CDC), deoxycholic (DC), lithocholic (LC) and glycolithocholic acids (GLC) were separated by TLC technique. Selected topological indices, based on adjacency and distance matrices, and electrotopological states were calculated for the studied bile acids. Different possibilities of application of structural descriptors to calculate specified physicochemical data of the examined bile acids were found (QSPR). Usability of structural descriptors for the estimation of chromatographic separations of the examined bile acids was shown only for optimal separation conditions. Of all topological indices, only the index C allows to describe the order of adsorption of the examined bile acids (QSRR). Whereas, Gutman's index Mv was proved to be most useful for the estimation of lipophilicity of the examined bile acids (QSAR). The studies indicate that the range of applicability of given structural descriptors is limited for certain analytical and physicochemical problems.

: Cannabidiol (CBD) is an approved treatment for childhood epilepsies and a candidate treatment for several other CNS disorders. However, it has poor oral bioavailability. We investigated the effect of a novel lipid formulation on its absorption in humans and on its tissue distribution in mice.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known to have toxic effects on fish. In this study, we examined the effects of benz[a]anthracene (BaA), a type of PAH, on fish liver metabolism. Nibbler fish () were intraperitoneally injected with BaA (10 ng/g body weight) four times over a 10-day period.

Probiotics are studied for their therapeutic potential in the treatment of several diseases, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Part of the significant progress made in understanding the pathogenesis of steatosis has come from identifying the complex interplay between the gut microbiome and liver function. Recently, probiotics have shown beneficial effects for the treatment and prevention of steatosis and MASLD in rodent models and in clinical trials.

Micelles formed by bile salts in aqueous solution are important for the solubilization of hydrophobic molecules in the gastrointestinal tract. The molecular level information about the mechanism and driving forces for primary-to-secondary micelle transition is still missing. In the current study, the micelle formation of 50 mM solutions of taurodeoxycholate (TDC) is studied by atomistic molecular dynamics simulations.
