Chenodeoxycholic Acid, Sodium Salt (CDCA) is a bile acid that may act to increase intracellular Ca2+ in isolated rat hepatocyte couplets. It induces a permeability transition in freshly isolated rat liver mitochondria. Chenodeoxycholic Acid, Sodium Salt acts as a detergent, solubilizing lipids and aiding in the digestion and absorption of fats, vitamins, and other nutrients. It also acts as a bile acid transporter, transporting bile acids from the intestine to the liver. It may act to reduce inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, and improve metabolic health.
