Excess energy intake during aging enhances bile acid secretion from liver to intestinal lumen. Several symptoms are developed by the diet supplemented with cholic acid to mimic that condition accompanied by alteration of bile acid metabolism in organs and blood. We investigated bile acid metabolism to find responsible molecular species of bile acid for development of the symptoms observed in the cholic acid supplementation. Consequently, the cholic acid supplementation is involved in lipid accumulation via modulation of sterol metabolism by increase mainly in deoxycholic acid and taurocholic acid.
