2. Taurine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurine

   It is a major constituent of bile and can be found in the large intestine, and accounts for up to 0.1% of total human body weight. Taurine is named after Latin taurus (cognate to Ancient Greek ταῦρος, taûros) meaning bull or ox, as it was first isolated from ox bile in 1827 by German scientists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin.

3. Bile acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile_acid

   These conjugated bile acids are often referred to as bile salts. The pKa of the unconjugated bile acids are between 5 and 6.5, [ 4 ] and the pH of the duodenum ranges between 3 and 5, so when unconjugated bile acids are in the duodenum, they are almost always protonated (HA form), which makes them relatively insoluble in water.

4. Choline - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choline

   Choline is a cation with the chemical formula [(CH 3) 3 NCH 2 CH 2 OH] +. [1] [2] [3] Choline forms various salts, such as choline chloride and choline bitartrate.An essential nutrient for animals, it is a structural component of phospholipids and cell membranes.

5. Bile acid sequestrant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile_acid_sequestrant

   Chronic diarrhea may be caused by excess bile salts entering the colon rather than being absorbed at the end of the small intestine (the ileum). This condition of bile acid malabsorption occurs after surgery to the ileum , in Crohn's disease , with a number of other gastrointestinal causes, or is commonly a primary, idiopathic condition.

6. Ursodoxicoltaurine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursodoxicoltaurine

   Tauroursodeoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring hydrophilic bile acid which is the taurine conjugated form of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Humans have only trace amounts of tauroursodeoxycholic acid but bears have large amounts of tauroursodeoxycholic acid and ursodeoxycholic acid in their bile.

7. Ursodeoxycholic acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursodeoxycholic_acid

   Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), also known as ursodiol, is a secondary bile acid, produced in humans and most other species from metabolism by intestinal bacteria.It is synthesized in the liver in some species, and was first identified in bile of bears of genus Ursus, from which its name derived.
