General description

Hyocholic acid, also called the 3α,6α,7α-trihydroxy-5β-cholanoic acid, is synthesized by the 6α-hydroxylation of chenodeoxycholic acid. It is a primary trihydroxylated bile acid associated with pigs. It is a minor bile acid in humans. Hyocholic acid is also synthesized from α-muricholic acid (MCA) in liver by the action of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hyocholic acid levels are elevated in plasma and urine samples of patients with cholestatic liver disease and in hepatic cirrhosis.

A cytochrome P450 expressed in pig liver was cloned by polymerase chain reaction using oligonucleotide primers based on amino acid sequences of the purified taurochenodeoxycholic acid 6alpha-hydroxylase. This enzyme catalyzes a 6alpha-hydroxylation of chenodeoxycholic acid, and the product hyocholic acid

Bile acids (BAs) are post-prandial hormones that play an important role in glucose and lipid homeostasis as well as energy expenditure. Total and glycine-amidated BAs increase after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and correlate to improved metabolic disease. No specific bile acid
