Role of mitochondria in the differential action of sodium deoxycholate and ursodeoxycholic acid on rat duodenum
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sodium deoxycholate (NaDOC) inhibits the intestinal Ca 2+ absorption and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) stimulates it. The aim of this study was to determine whether NaDOC and UDCA produce differential effects on the redox state of duodenal mitochondria altering the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain (ETC) functioning, which could lead to perturbations in the mitochondrial dynamics and biogenesis. Rat intestinal mitochondria were isolated from untreated and treated animals with either NaDOC, UDCA, or both. Krebs cycle enzymes, ETC components, ATP synthase, and mitochondrial dynamics and biogenesis markers were determined. NaDOC decreased isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) and malate dehydrogenase activities affecting the ETC and ATP synthesis. NaDOC also induced oxidative stress and increased the superoxide dismutase activity and impaired the mitochondrial biogenesis and functionality. UDCA increased the activities of ICDH and complex II of ETC. The combination of both bile acids conserved the functional activities of Krebs cycle enzymes, ETC components, oxidative phosphorylation, and mitochondrial biogenesis. In conclusion, the inhibitory effect of NaDOC on intestinal Ca 2+ absorption is mediated by mitochondrial dysfunction, which is avoided by UDCA. The stimulatory effect of UDCA alone is associated with amelioration of mitochondrial functioning. This knowledge could improve treatment of diseases that affect the intestinal Ca 2+ absorption.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
