Effects of phospholipid (PL) content, acyl chain composition, and lyso-phosphatidylcholine (lyso-PC) on intermixed micellar-vesicular bile salt concentration (IMC) in model biles

IMC value (mM)
All micelles contained 30 mM taurocholate and were incubated for 12 hours at 37°C.
Differences between all IMC values were significant.
EYPC, egg yolk-phosphatidylcholine; TC, taurocholate; DPPC, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine.
Micelles EYPC/(TC+EYPC) ratio=0.45.9 (0.1)
Micelles PL/(TC+PL) ratio=0.4 (60% of PL  were lyso-PC and 40% of PL were EYPC)7.6 (0.1)
Micelles EYPC/(TC+EYPC) ratio=0.211.4 (0.2)
Micelles DPPC/(TC+DPPC) ratio=0.28.6 (0.1)
