Ursodeoxycholic Acid, Sodium Salt is a bile acid used in research to understand the physiology and pathophysiology of bile formation and secretion. It is particularly useful in studies of cholestatic liver diseases, where it aids in the investigation of mechanisms that protect hepatocytes from bile acid-induced cytotoxicity. Ursodeoxycholic Acid, Sodium Salt also serves as a tool to explore the modulation of bile acid pools and the regulation of cholesterol metabolism. In addition, it is employed in the study of membrane transporters involved in bile acid homeostasis, as well as in the examination of the signaling pathways that are influenced by bile acids in hepatic and extrahepatic tissues.
