What is α-Muricholic Acid?
Description
α-Muricholic acid is a murine-specific primary bile acid. Dietary administration of soybean protein decreases fecal levels of α-muricholic acid in mice with high-fat diet-induced obesity which correlates with increases in fecal Clostridium cluster XIVa, a major producer of secondary bile acids. Plasma, liver, and muscle levels of α-muricholic acid are increased in mice switched from a high-fat to low-fat diet.
The Uses of α-Muricholic Acid
α-Muricholic Acid is an bile acid found in urine. Studies have linked α-Muricholic in the understanding of the complex signaling pathways of hepatic lipid abnormalities with type 2 diabetes and a treatment target for this condition.
What are the applications of Application
5β-Cholanic acid-3α,6β,7α-triol is 5β-Cholanic acid-3α,6β,7α-triol is a cholesterol used for proteomics research.
Definition
ChEBI: Alpha-muricholic acid is a member of the class of muricholic acids in which the hydroxy groups at positions 6 and 7 have beta- and alpha- configuration respectively. It is a member of muricholic acids, a 6beta-hydroxy steroid and a 7alpha-hydroxy steroid. It is a conjugate acid of an alpha-muricholate.
