Description

General description

7-Ketodeoxycholic acid, categorized as a oxo-5beta-cholanic acid, is a bile acid derivative and a metabolite resulting from the degradation of the primary bile acid, cholic acid, by intestinal bacteria. Bile acids, natural steroid amphipathic compounds formed through cholesterol oxidation in the liver, play a crucial role in regulating lipid metabolism. They facilitate the digestion, absorption, and transport of lipids, lipid-soluble vitamins, and related molecules in the gastrointestinal tract. These bile acids also impact various aspects of cholesterol, glucose, and energy balance. However, in specific liver conditions such as intrahepatic cholestasis characterized by reduced bile flow, the accumulation of bile acids at elevated concentrations can lead to severe toxic effects. This makes 7-Ketodeoxycholic acid a compound of interest for biochemical and metabolomics research.
