Dehydrocholic acid is a semisynthetic bile acid derived from cholic acid. It reduces phospholipid, cholesterol, and bilirubin concentrations while having little effect on bile acid levels. Dehydrocholic acid increases bile flow relative to bile acid excretion, suggesting that its hydroxy keto metabolites act as hydrocholeretics. However, the cholesterol-to-lecithin and bile acid ratio remains largely unchanged. Reagent grade, for research purpose.
