Glycodeoxycholic acid
Explanation: Glycodeoxycholic acid is a bile acid produced in the liver. Bile acids help digest and absorb fats and vitamins that dissolve in fat, like vitamins A, D, E, and K. Besides its digestive function, glycochenodeoxycholic acid can act as a signaling molecule, influencing the metabolism of cholesterol and glucose. They also play a role in eliminating excess cholesterol and other waste products.
Test purpose: Evaluate liver function, detect bile acid conditions like cholestasis (reduced bile flow), detect bile acid malabsorption.
