Product Description
Mechanism of Action
The sodium salt form improves solubility of dehydrocholic acid, enhancing its utility in biochemical assays. It promotes bile secretion, supports hepatobiliary transport studies and modulates bile‑acid‑responsive metabolic pathways.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in hepatobiliary transport assays, bile‑acid solubility studies, metabolic‑detoxification modelling and membrane‑transport investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include GI irritation, electrolyte shifts and hypersensitivity reactions. Handle with bile‑acid‑salt precautions.
