Deoxycholic acid
Explanation: Deoxycholic 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. Deoxycholic acid is stored in the gallbladder and released into the intestines to support digestion. It also plays a role in regulating cholesterol levels in the body.
Test purpose: Evaluate liver function, detect bile acid conditions like cholestasis (reduced bile flow) or bile acid synthesis defects can cause abnormal levels.
