Deoxycholic acid is formed from cholic acid by 7-dehydroxylation, resulting in 2 hydroxyl groups ( 3? and 12? ).
12.
The three major bile acids in germ-free mice are cholic acid, ?-muricholic, and ?-muricholic acids.
13.
Taurine is moiety is negatively charged in the pH ranges normally found in the intestinal tract, thus it improves the surfactant properties of the cholic acid conjugate.
14.
The balance between these two steroids determines the relative amounts of the two primary bile acids, cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid, both of which are secreted in the bile.
15.
SeHCAT has been shown to be absorbed from the gut and excreted into the bile at the same rate as cholic acid, one of the major natural bile acids in humans.
16.
When the company started five years ago, CEO and six-time company co-founder Brian Frenzel said the plan was to treat humans and animals, including sometime fatal horse cholic.
17.
Aramchol, a conjugate of Cholic acid and Arachidic acid, is a first in class member of a novel family of synthetic Fatty-Acid / Bile-Acid Conjugates ( FABACs ).
18.
Cholic acid, 3?, 7?, 12?-trihydroxy-5?-cholan-24-oic acid, the most abundant bile acid in humans and many other species, was discovered before chenodeoxycholic acid.
19.
In obese people, the relative proportion of Firmicutes ( Gram-positive bacteria ) in gut microbiota is increased resulting in greater conversion of the non-genotoxic primary bile acid, cholic acid, to carcinogenic deoxycholate.
20.
In humans, taurocholic acid and glycocholic acid ( derivatives of cholic acid ) and taurochenodeoxycholic acid and glycochenodeoxycholic acid ( derivatives of chenodeoxycholic acid ) are the major bile salts in bile and are roughly equal in concentration.
