Description:Ursodeoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring bile acid, which is synthesized in the liver from cholesterol. It functions primarily to reduce cholesterol absorption in the intestine and dissolve cholesterol gallstones. This mechanism involves changing the composition of bile and reducing the cholesterol saturation in bile, which reduces micellar cholesterol and bile acid pool size, limiting stone formation.
Ursodeoxycholic acid is extensively used in the medical field for its hepatoprotective properties, particularly in the management of primary biliary cholangitis, a chronic liver disease. Moreover, it is utilized to dissolve cholesterol gallstones in patients who prefer non-surgical treatment options or are not suitable candidates for gallbladder removal surgery. Its role in improving bile flow allows it to alleviate symptoms associated with cholestasis.
For scientists studying liver function and gallstone formation, ursodeoxycholic acid offers a profound insight into bile acid metabolism and host cholesterol homeostasis, showcasing its significance in therapeutic strategies targeting cholestatic liver diseases and cholesterol management.
