Description

Hyocholic acid is a bile acid that is a natural compound that has been shown to have cholesterol-lowering effects. It has been shown to inhibit hepatic steatosis and congestive heart failure, as well as bind to the receptor for bile acids, which may lead to physiological effects. The physiological levels of hyocholic acid in the human serum are unknown, but it has been shown to inhibit the activities of hyocholic acid hydrolase and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase in vitro. This inhibition leads to an accumulation of bile acids and cholesterol in the liver and blood and induces a condition known as hypercholesterolemia.
