Cholic acid therapy in Zellweger spectrum disorders
AbstractIntroductionZellweger spectrum disorders (ZSDs) are characterized by a failure in peroxisome formation, caused by autosomal recessive mutations in different PEX genes. At least some of the progressive and irreversible clinical abnormalities in patients with a ZSD, particularly liver dysfunction, are likely caused by the accumulation of toxic ...

Gut microbiota-derived cholic acid mediates neonatal brain immaturity and white matter injury under chronic hypoxia [PDF]
Summary: Chronic hypoxia, common in neonates, disrupts gut microbiota balance, which is crucial for brain development. This study utilized cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) patients and a neonatal hypoxic rat model to explore the association. Both

Preparation of Chenodeoxycholic Acid from Cholic Acid [PDF]
KAWAI1 converted cholic acid to chenodeoxycholic acid (3α : 7α-dihydroxycholanic acid, anthropodeoxycholic acid) by Kishner–Wolff reduction of the derived 3 : 7-dihydroxy-12-keto cholanic acid. Plattner and Heusser2 similarly reduced methyl 3 : 7-di-acetoxy-12-keto cholanate.

Bacterial 7-dehydroxylation of cholic acid and allocholic acid
An obligate anaerobic organism capable of dehydroxylating cholic acid to deoxycholic acid and allocholic acid to allodeoxycholic acid was isolated from feces of the rabbit. It was a member of the bacteroides group (Gram-variable, nonsporulating anaerobes)
