Ursocholic acid is a secondary bile acid derived from ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). It is produced in the liver and plays a role in the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the intestines. Bile acids like Ursocholic acid are critical for maintaining cholesterol homeostasis and promoting the emulsification of fats. It has been studied for its potential hepatoprotective and cholesterol-lowering effects, similar to UDCA, and is of interest in the treatment of liver and gallbladder disorders. Its therapeutic applications are being explored for managing conditions like cholestasis and promoting overall liver health.
