Clinical manifestations of bile salt deficiencies are related to poor absorption of:
a. fats and fat-soluble vitamins.

d. minerals.
ANS: A
Clinical manifestations of bile salt deficiency are related to poor intestinal absorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Neither water-soluble vitamins nor minerals require bile salts for absorption; thus, they are not affected. Protein breakdown is facilitated by bile, but its absorption is not dependent upon it.
