Hyocholic acid is a biliary acid found in human urine. Hyocholic acid works by inhibiting the enzyme ATP-citrate lyase, which is responsible for the conversion of citrate to acetyl-CoA. By inhibiting this enzyme, Hyocholic acid prevents the conversion of carbohydrates into fat, thus reducing fat storage. Additionally, Hyocholic acid may act to increase the activity of the enzyme adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK).
