Introduction
guidelines
A bile salt formed in the liver by conjugation of chenodeoxycholate with taurine, usually as the sodium salt. It acts as detergent to solubilize fats in the small intestine and is itself absorbed. It is used as a cholagogue and choleretic.

The bile acids glycocholic acid, glycochenodeoxycholic acid and taurochenodeoxycholic acid are associated with glucose homeostasis, shown by Shaham et al (PubMed). These three bile acids (in plasma) changed reproducibly in response to an oral glucose challenge test. The levels more than doubled during the first 30 min. after glucose ingestion and remained elevated for the entire 2 hours.
