General Description

Hemulcholic acid, also known as α-hydroxy-β,β-dimethyl-γ-oxo-5β-cholanic acid, is a chemical compound classified as a bile acid that is found in the bile of mammals. It is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats. Hemulcholic acid plays a crucial role in the emulsification and solubilization of dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins, promoting their absorption in the intestines. It also helps to regulate cholesterol levels in the body and is important for the proper functioning of the digestive system. Additionally, hemulcholic acid has been studied for potential therapeutic applications in treating liver and gallbladder disorders, as well as for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
