| | Bile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Besides its digestive function, bile serves as the route of excretion for the hemoglobin breakdown product (bilirubin) which gives bile its colour. | | | This mixture, applied to textiles a few hours before washing, is a traditional and rather effective method for removing various kinds of tough stains. | | | Emulsified droplets then are organized into many micelles which increases absorption. |

| | At Aberystwyth research interests in ecological parasitology focus on the ecological consequences of host behaviour change, the parasite fauna of introduced species, modelling transmission in natural populations and identifying the molecular mechanisms of behaviour change via proteomic approaches. | | | As parasites themselves have an understanding of host structure and function, then parasitology provides an excellent interactive academic backdrop to study many aspects of zoology including invertebrate and vertebrate biology, immunology and behavioural biology and ecology. | | | Postgraduate opportunities (PhD) and graduate research posts are regularly available within the group, such as a BBSRC CASE studentship with Pfizer Ltd starting next October. |

| | Bile is both excretory and secretory – in addition to bile salts, it contains cholesterol, phospholipids, and bilirubin (from the breakdown of haemoglobin). | | | The liver synthesises cholesterol, which then circulates in the body to be used or excreted into bile for removal. | | | Increased cholesterol concentrations in bile may lead to gallstone formation. |
