Articles

The liver excretes excess cholesterol in the form of bile acids. Bile acids serve two purposes: to remove unwanted cholesterol from the body and to aid in lipid digestion in the intestine.

Protocols

This method is particularly useful in research into the role of individual bile acids as signaling molecules; suitable for clinical laboratories to investigate potential mechanisms linked to gut hormone profiles and glycemic control.

Related Content

Bile Acids (BA) are synthesized in the liver and play important roles in cholesterol homeostasis, absorption of vitamins and lipids, and various key metabolic processes.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
