Glycocholic Acid

Glycocholic acid is a conjugation product of cholic acid and glycine, formed in the liver. It is secreted along with bile into the duodenum and plays an important role in the processes of digestion and absorption of fats in the intestine.

Glycocholic acid, like other bile acids, emulsifies lipids, that is, it breaks large fat droplets into small ones, thereby increasing the surface area for lipase action. In addition, it is involved in micellization - the formation of colloidal particles in which fatty acids and monoglycerides obtained as a result of the digestion of triglycerides are dissolved in the aqueous phase of the intestinal contents. This allows them to be absorbed into the intestinal cells and enter the lymphatic and circulatory systems of the body.

Thus, thanks to glycocholic acid, cholesterol and fats from food can be absorbed and used by the body. A deficiency of this substance leads to impaired lipid absorption and the development of fatty diarrhea.

Hemodialysis of cholesterol, prevention of the development of atherosclerosis, bronchial asthma, Alzheimer's disease, hepatoprotection. Acyl form of calcitriol. Cholefilter, which is one of the forms of endogenous VLDL structures. HCA also performs two other important functions for the body - it increases synthesis
