General description

Sodium tauroursodeoxycholate is a bile salt which is naturally present in the small bowel.

Application

Sodium tauroursodeoxycholate has been used in a study to assess whether ER stress is involved in palmitic acid upregulation (PA). It has also been used in a study to investigate its effect on Estradiol-17β-D-glucuronide (E-17G) induced cholestasis in female rats.
