Shortly after his thesis work was accepted, Deulofeu proceeded to the University of Munich, where he worked under Prof. H. Wieland on the structural elucidation of bile acids, a subject that had earned Prof. Wieland the 1927 Nobel prize for Chemistry. Deulofeu s stay in Germany was interrupted by a call from Prof. B. Houssay, who offered him a position as Assistant Professor of Biological Chemistry at the Facultad de Medicina of the Universidad of Buenos Aires, a position that he held until 1948 as a part-time professor.

Chemistry of Bile Acids and Their Effects on Digestion... 

Bile acids have long been known to aid digestion of dietary fats, but are not essential. Some 50% of dietary fats are absorbed in rats where bile acids are diverted by biliary fistula.Similar results were found in man. This suggested that the micellar phase isolated by ultracentrifugation of duodenal contents was in fact composed of both bile-acid micelles and vesicles, a suggestion supported by a systematic study of the physical chemistry of fat digestion in human small bowel.
