Description:Glycodeoxycholic acid is a bile acid derivative, which is synthesized in the liver from cholesterol. It functions primarily as a signaling molecule with multiple physiological roles in the human body. This compound is conjugated, enhancing its solubility and facilitating its transport within the gastrointestinal tract. Glycodeoxycholic acid acts as an agonist for specific receptors such as the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), playing a vital role in the regulation of bile acid synthesis, lipid metabolism, and glucose homeostasis.
Researchers utilize Glycodeoxycholic acid in various studies related to metabolic disorders, liver diseases, and the gut microbiome. Its ability to modulate important signaling pathways makes it a valuable tool in understanding diseases like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cholesterol gallstone disease. Moreover, it provides insights into drug interactions and the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting bile acid receptors. Overall, Glycodeoxycholic acid is pivotal in elucidating complex biological processes and advancing biomedical research.
