Common Nameglycodeoxycholic acid
DescriptionGlycodeoxycholic acid is a bile acid conjugate belonging to the chemical class of bile acids and their derivatives. Its chemical structure features a steroid backbone with hydroxyl groups at specific positions, which are essential for its biological activity. Glycodeoxycholic acid is involved in various metabolic pathways, particularly in the regulation of bile acid homeostasis and gut microbiota interactions. It has been shown to play a role in the disruption of the gut-liver bile acid axis, especially under conditions of chronic exposure to environmental toxins, which can lead to dysregulation of bile acid metabolism (PMID:41028297 ). Additionally, it is implicated in protective mechanisms during skin injury, highlighting its potential role in mediating gut-brain communication (PMID:40886964 , PMID:40795259 ). Studies have also demonstrated its involvement in metabolic disorders, where elevated levels of glycodeoxycholic acid correlate with certain biomarkers in affected populations (PMID:40699752 ). Furthermore, its deconjugation by gut bacteria has been assessed, indicating its dynamic role in the gastrointestinal tract (PMID:40982568 ). Overall, glycodeoxycholic acid is a significant metabolite with multifaceted roles in both chemistry and biology.
