Description

Tauroglycocholic acid is a bile acid conjugate of taurine and cholic acid. It is synthesized in the liver from cholesterol and is the most abundant bile acid in humans. Tauroglycocholic acid is a crucial component of bile, a fluid secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It aids in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. Its amphipathic nature allows it to emulsify dietary lipids, making them more accessible to digestive enzymes. Tauroglycocholic acid also plays a role in regulating cholesterol levels in the body. Research into tauroglycocholic acid focuses on its role in digestive health, its potential involvement in liver disease, and its interaction with various drugs and toxins. Its synthesis, metabolism, and impact on the gut microbiome are actively investigated to understand its multifaceted functions and develop strategies for treating related disorders.'
