Notes: Taurolithocholic acid-d4 (TLCA-d4) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of TLCA (Item No. 17275) by GC- or LC-MS. TLCA is a taurine-conjugated form of the secondary bile acid lithocholic acid (Item No. 20253).{33902} TLCA (75 μM) increases caspase-3 and -7 activity in Hep3B cells transfected with sodium taurocholate cotransporting peptide (NTCP), but not nontransfected Hep3B cells.{28235} It has been used to induce cholestasis in ex vivo and in vivo animal models of hepatocellular cholestasis.{28234,43818} Serum levels of TLCA increase approximately 5-fold within two hours during an oral lipid tolerance test in humans.{33902}
