Norcholic acid is a normal minorbile C23 bile acid having four side chain and exsits in human urine and meconium. Norcholic acid can become prominent under certain pathological conditions. Norcholic acid is efficiently absorbed from intestine and quickly excreted into the bile but not into urine[1].
Norcholic acid (6.4 g/L; p.o.; 24 hours) shows that averaging 40 % of the administered radioactivity is recovered from the feces during the first 24 hours[1].
