Wikipedia definition
2. Bile acidBile acids are steroid acids found predominantly in the bile of mammals. Bile salts are bile acids compounded with a cation, usually sodium. In humans, the salts of taurocholic acid and glycocholic acid represent approximately eighty percent of all bile salts. Bile acids, glycine and taurine conjugates, and 7-alpha-dehydroxylated derivatives are all found in human intestinal bile. An increase in bile flow is exhibited with an increased secretion of bile acids.
