We found that the levels of total bile acids in hypertriglyceridaemic and hypercholesterolemic sera determined by a spectrophotometric method were four-fold higher than those measured by the bioluminescent method (6.73 +/- 4.07 mumol/l (mean +/- SD) by bioluminescent and 26.10 +/- 13.42 mumol/l by the spectrophotometric method). There was no difference in total bile acid levels between these two methods for normal serum (4.72 +/- 3.38 mumol/l by bioluminescence and 4.49 +/- 3.27 mumol/l by the spectrophotometric method).Mahidol UniversityBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyChemistryTotal bile acids in hyperlipidaemic serum determined by bioluminescent and spectrophotometric methods.ArticleSCOPUS10.1002/bio.1170060408
