• Passage of drugs through biological membranes,

The results of investigation by our team showed that bile acids alone exerts a significant hypoglycemic effect and thus may potentiate the effect of other hypoglycemic agents. Hypoglycemic effect in diabetic animals is determined and after the application of this effect is achieved by probiotikakoji insulin-independent mehanizmima.Najizraženiji hypoglycemic effect in diabetic animals was observed in the combined use of a bile acid with gliclazide and probiotics suggesting significant interaction between the two substances whose mechanisms at the molecular level remains to be to examine. It was also found that a semi-synthetic derivative of a bile acid, 12-monoketocholic acid (MKC) has the potential to modify the biophysical properties of the cell membranes and to influence the function and activity of transport proteins of membrane-bound, changing the transport of drugs through biological membranes, such as may result in altered pharmacokinetic characteristics of the drug. Thus, it was shown that MCC enhances the delivery of drugs on the central nervous system, increases the absorption of tramadol and its transport to the brain and thereby affected to povećanjenjegovog analgesic effects. Similarly, it was shown that deoxycholic acid leads to an increased transmission glikazida to the CNS. The most probable mechanism is a modification of the passage and connection in otvaranjetesnih KMB or incorporation of deoxycholic acid in the cell membrane allowing the transfer jeolakšan gliclazide. In addition, the team's results showed a significant change of pharmacokinetic parameters and MKC gliclazide after oral administration after probiotic treatment, pointing to the importance of the intestinal flora and the probiotic in the alteration of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the pharmacologically active ingredient.
