6.3 Bile-Acid-Related Colonic Regulation

Feline Fat-Based Metabolism (Fat-Based Metabolism)

Definition

Bile-Acid-Related Colonic Regulation describes how bile-acid-related molecules reaching later intestinal segments may regulate colonic secretion, colonic propulsion, and stool water content.

Use Bile Salt Dispersion for small-intestinal fat dispersion. Use bile-acid-related colonic regulation for later-segment control—not the same step.

Do not write “bile acid causes loose stool” as a single-cause claim. Loose stool must be backtraced through stool water content, colonic secretion, colonic propulsion, and Fat Processing Rate to upstream food structure.

Control Variables
1. Fat processing rate

Upstream fat handling affects what reaches the colon.

2. Colonic secretion

Secretion shifts stool water content.

3. Colonic propulsion

Transit time changes water recovery before output.

4. Stool water content

Direct output variable for loose stool backtrace.

Causal Chain

upstream food structure

fat processing rate and small-intestinal handling

bile-acid-related colonic regulation

colonic secretion and colonic propulsion

stool water content and loose stool index

Observable Outputs

Loose stool index reflects increased stool water content or decreased formation—backtrace entry, not a root cause label.

Boundary
Invalid readings

bile acid = single cause of all loose stool

colonic regulation = bile salt dispersion
