Notes: Taurohyodeoxycholic acid (THDCA) is a taurine-conjugated form of the secondary bile acid hyodeoxycholic acid (Item No. 20294).{39310} THDCA decreases the size and weight of human gallstones in vitro. It increases bile flow, biliary cholesterol secretion, and biliary lipid secretion in rats.{39309} Co-administration of THDCA with taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA; Item No. 20275) prevents TCDCA-induced hepatotoxicity, increasing bile flow as well as biliary acid and phospholipid secretion in rats.{39311} THDCA also reduces myeloperoxidase activity, expression of TNF-α and IL-6, and colonic damage in a mouse model of TNBS-induced ulcerative colitis.{39312}
