Bile contains cholesterol, bile acids and bile pigments. It has a detergent-like effect on fats.

胆汁含有胆固醇，胆汁酸和胆色素。对脂肪有类似洗涤剂的作用。

Dr Hazen has shown, in yet further experiments on mice, that microbe-generated TMAO interferes with liver enzymes that make bile acids—substances that help remove excess cholesterol.

Hazen士已经由在老鼠中进行后续验证，细菌的TMAO干扰肝脏酶的活性，后者胆酸，一种有助于清除过多胆固醇的物质。

That bile emulsifies the fat, essentially making fat organize into small " micelles" , which are tiny bubbles of mixed lipids and bile acids, rather than clumping together, and making them easier to absorb.

胆汁将脂肪乳化，即把脂肪分解为脂肪微滴；这些微滴是脂类和胆汁酸混合而成的小液滴；这样脂肪就不会聚集成团，吸收也就变得更容易了。
