5-Cholenic acid-3β-ol is believed to exert its effects through multiple pathways. Firstly, it functions as an agonist for both the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and the TGR5 receptor. Additionally, it acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme 7α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which plays a role in the conversion of primary bile acids to secondary bile acids. Lastly, it acts as an antagonist for the nuclear receptor PPARα
