DETAILS

Description (English)
Research Area: Metabolic Disease
Biological Activity:
Chenodeoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring human bile acid. Chenodeoxycholic acid is indicated for dissolution of cholesterol gallstones in selected patients with uncomplicated radiolucent gallstone disease and functioning gallbladder. Although the exact mechanism of chenodiol’s anticholelithic action is not completely understood, chenodiol given orally in pharmacological doses contributes to desaturation of the bile by increasing the ratio of bile acids to cholesterol. The reduced cholesterol saturation allows for the gradual solubilization of cholesterol from gallstones, resulting in their eventual dissolution. [1]
